Ewwwww! I can't believe she did that!!!

I just watched Luna catch and eat a moth. GROSS!!

It was a really big one too! The kind with white wings and big feelers that love my porch light

(I figure it must have gotten in last night when I came home from work).

I was just sitting here, drinking my coffee, when I heard some strange chirp-meowing noises coming from the kitchen. I got there just in time to see Luna hop across the room on her hind legs, pawing at the air the whole time. Then she jumped onto the counter, pounced, and started sniffing/chewing at something. I went to investigate what she had and...... EWWWWWWW!!!!!

How can cats eat bugs like that. Especially BIG, freaky-looking ones?!?

(I've never seen Howard eat something like that...He's afraid of big bugs.)

Ahahah sorry but that is funny Kitties sure are funny that way, my siamese Bobo loves to eat spiders, blah! It's so gross, but at least he's getting rid of them, that's the way I think of it, but I also dont' kiss him near the mouth for a little while

As my aunt Bunny, a cat mom of over 40 years, said when I told her that Don Juan ate a roach: "Can you believe it? We buy them all that expensive food, and then they want to eat disgusting things like that!"

LOL! Yeah...from now on, no Fancy Feast for Luna. She can just snack on the creepy-crawly-flying things that get into the house

I've got several creepy crawly eaters here. Someone will even eat those nasty camel-back crickets All I find are a few legs left over. EWWW!

What a crazy kitty! He must have been craving some protein.

**moosmom** · 07-04-2007, 08:06 PM

Shortie girl is a fly girl. No fly is safe when she's around.

My cats do that too. I try to shoo the bugs out or catch them before the cats do. I dont want them to die that way, or my cats to get sick from snacking on them! lol

Definitely a good idea! Usually if bugs get in, they fly around high enough so they can't be caught...and Luna entertains by performing acrobatics trying to catch them. I'm sure she's eaten them before, but this was the first time I witnessed it.

I guess bugs are much better than rabbits, mice, and birds (oh my!)... And since both cats are strictly indoor kitties, I guess they have to show off their hunting skills somehow.

Yeah, who knows how many icky things Taz has eaten, but if I see him stalking a spider I try to discourage it. I don't want him eating something that might hurt him. I killed a spider he was stalking a while ago and he searched around on the ground for it and looked at me like "what the heck are you doing?!?!". We humans take the fun out of everything.

She did it AGAIN!!!!

While we were eating lunch today, Luna chased a fly (one that she's been tracking for a couple days) into the room, jumped up, grabbed it out of the air with her front paws & knocked it to the ground....then she pounced and...

*SLURP!*

Howard, who was a few feet away relaxing in the path of the air conditioning, watched her with a look of complete and total disgust on his face as if to say "I would never, ever do something like that!" (too funny!)
