Wow, Lily just ate a huge moth - and puked!

About half an hour ago, Lily killed a big moth and ate it. Well, and a couple of minutes ago, she threw it up again!!

I hope there are no things like toxic butterflies, or bugs.

Hope that thing felt just weird in her stomach, so she decided to better get rid of it. Scary!

She just threw up again - this time a huge amount of grass. Guess she ate that to get rid of the moth. Hopefully she'll be alright!

Maybe?

A Luna moth! What a sweet name! However, Lily's was a little bit smaller. *g*

Speaking of Luna, she's also hunting a moth right now, and Lily gladly joined her.

Oh no, and just ate it again!!

I understand that the hunting thing is fun for the girls, but the puking can't be funny!

Edit: Now that Lily ate Luna's moth, Luna's sitting by the window, waiting for the next one to come in. Silly girls!

If I ate a moth, I'd puke too! Hope her tummy feels better soon.

Kirsten, she'll be fine. Two days ago, Pinot was out with us on a yard walk, she got into the "I'm gonna throw up" pose, I started petting her, as I always do with kitties that are in that state, she threw up the remains of a VERY LARGE bug (she eats them for entertainment). I petted her for a while, gently brought her inside, she threw up a long hairball (she has not, in the last year, tossed a hairball), then there was some more fluid to come up, and she didn't eat dinner for a while. When things settled, she ate, and she's been fine since. We believe the bug of choice was a butterfly or a cicada.

Your girls will be fine.
