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

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!)

Well, maybe what we would consider a nuisance and gross, our babies think of as a tasty snack!? My guys go crazy if there is any kind of bug in the house; I haven't witnessed any eating of the bugs, just stalking and jumping.

I did come home the other night from work to find our neighbor's cat sitting in front of the porch steps with the back end of a small squirrel in his mouth. (no, I don't know where the rest of it is) Now THAT was gross.
