The bug season has started... (pics)

... and is keeping my girls busy! LOL
I can tell you, I didn't get much sleep last night because the girls have been chasing insects in my bedroom. Well, at least they had some fun! :rolleyes:

Here they are hunting together:

LOL I love the first and last pic!:D

We used to get bugs in the house alot during summer, but now not as much:p I guess Blueberry likes to hunt them too hehe. That's good though because whenever I see an insect I freak out lol, so its nice having a bug hunter;)

And it's a slam dunk! :D :D

What a jump, and what a photographer!

Also, looks like you need a bigger TV so they can both fit up there with a little more room, and good thing you don't have an LCD monitor for your computer - no room for the Luna girl then. ;) :D

Thanks! :)

Yes, Lily is my little high flyer here! :)

Well, this is the little tv I have in the bed room, there's a big one in the living room also. And you're right about the monitor! :lol The girls jump onto it and I'm afraid it's not good for the monitor, but with an LCD-monitor I would be afraid that they damage the screen with their claws.

Kirsten

Those are great pics! The first one is great and the jump shot is awesome! LoL Katie is a little cumpulsive when it comes to bug hunting. If she sees a bug on the wall ONCE she'll ALWAYS come back to that SAME SPOT and scream and carry on, wondering where the bug is. :rolleyes:

The kittens have been hunting Palo verde Beetles that keep showing up... *shudder* These guys are sometimes close to 3 1/2 inches long with HUGE feelers. ick ick ick. I thought one the other night was gonna turn around and carry hector off to feed his family.. I hate bugs... :p

Great pix of the girls, Kirsten! I have a bug hunter too, except he has this habit of chasing the bugs so they fly over the bed :rolleyes: and he always manages to land on something painful! *More on the hubby than me lol*

Great pictures, I love the jump shot!!!
That first one with them on the tv together is beautiful!

You take such great pictures but of course you have great subjects.

Well, actually I think it would be better if you could see her head! :) But she's too fast for my cam! :)

Twin bug hunters!!!! Lily, you and Pouncer would make a great bug hunting team!

Cute pictures! I love it when my cats chase bugs...until they catch them and start crunching on them.

I love the color of your walls. Is that paint or wallpaper?

I love your TV ornaments! My TV is too cluttered for cats.

Wow! Kirsten you have some serious hunters there! The picture of the two of them on the TV together is BEAUTIFUL! They compliment each other so well. The jump shot is a great photo!
Why do people buy those electonic bug zappers when all they need is a kitty!!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/o...es/biggrin.gif

WOW! Lily looked like Rocket J Squirrel,in that last picture,from Rocky,and Bullwinkle Fame! Those Bugs dont stand a Chance!

Love the bugs pictures and can almost hear the ack acking from here!!! That jump shot is hysterical :D Rocket kitty!! No worries about bugs or entertainment at your house:D (for you OR the girls!!)

catnapper, Lily says she would love to be in a bug hunting team with Pouncer! :)

@Tonya: It's a wallpaper! :)

@Debbie: you're right, they've been making these little ack ack ack sounds all the time! :)

Kirsten

Great pictures, Kirsten!! :)

Oddly enough Ebby is bug hunting right now. She began here in the living room and now she is upstairs running around ... sounds like there is a pony galloping up there ... now the shouting (the only time she gets really vocal)...
It is great she is having fun, but does she have to do this at 11.40pm, when I live in a terraced house with very thin walls. Especially given the fact there is a 4 month old baby living one side of me and a not yet three weeks old one the other!!

Chris

Awww, your cats are beautiful.

Lol, when Maggie was here she would do that to flys. it was funny watching her jump in the air, and do that weird chatter meow. :p
