We were joking before we got Meka that hubby grew up with a poodle that would kill the occasional roach that would come in through the chimney. If I had known cats did this I would have gotten one much sooner!!!! haha I do NOT like roaches and the occasional one that gets in usually dies from whatever has been sprayed in the house years ago - not spraying now since got cat and hadn't sprayed in years. BUT I still had to squish it if I saw it before the poison took hold - YUK! She was much more effective and that was the first time I got any entertainment out of a roach! hahahahaha My little roach killer - she has a home for life!!!! Debbie
