    that fly doesn't stand CHANCE!

    a few minutes ago, Emma and Louise ran into the room, intently chasing something... it was a fly... Em caught it, the poor fella didn't stand a chance! now I see Lu is after one, or it may be the same one tho I think Emma ate that one(how gross is that?!)
    I used to dread flies getting in, now I just think, big mistake , poor thing. with 5 cats in this house...

    I dread when there is a fly in the house. It seems to give the cats the green light for running, jumping and breaking. I always make Charlie go kill it before the cats kill themselves.

    LOL!

    Pixel likes to eat the REALLY big bugs - it worries because some of the bugs we get here in Australia (such as Christmas Beetles) shouldn't be eaten by cats as it damages their stomach lining because their shells splinter into big sharp splinters. I don't mind her chasing the little bugs and flies, it's just really gross when she eats them.

    My former flatmate's cat, Maxi, once walked into the room with a moth in his mouth. He had the moth's body in his mouth, with it's wings flapping madly on the outside. It was the funniest thing I'd ever seen! Believe it or not, the moth escaped with it's life ...

    Mum to two little humans, a very vocal 14 year old Ragdoll, and a super energetic and snuggly rescue kitten.

    LOL don't hurt yourself!

    I know what you mean, I worry about them getting ahold of a brown spider, which is dangerous to humans(watch out for red streaks near the bite) and I think it could be dangereous to cats too...? I also worry very much about them getting a scorpion or centipede!

    juke joint joseph just loves to chase flys , but he is a bit on the awkard side and as Jen says they do more damge that a hundred flys could ever do! So I put up strips and a dad of honey in the light shade so they will fly in and get burned up!
