Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2007SNAP!! Summer's almost here ;)
I went and got the mail and bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Dammit! I let in a fly. Not to worry. The boys are on the case. Dante gets this one. Straight up in the air, and SNAP!!! Fly's gone.

Yeah, she wounds them until they can't fly, then loses interest. In mid summer we always end up with these walking flies all over if we've been in & out the door a lot and let flies in. Sherry >Boots does a peculiar thing with flies. She doesn't kill them. She >just makes 'em walk. Was I the only who immediately filled in "the plank" when reading this?

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Make Levees, Not War Ketzl hasn't been bitten by the Summer Bug (!) yet; I've had a couple of flies in here already: one dive-bomber about the size of a small Cessna, and one small slow-mover; the kind you can walk up behind and reach out and grab. He ignored both of them, despite my alerting him to their presence. I thought he'd get excited and go after them, but no. He'll probably warm up eventually. Last summer he was quite fond of eating them, after experimenting on them. Gradually he must have lost the taste, because I started finding half-eaten fly carcasses all over the place. He must have brought them in from outside, because they normally don't get through the screens.

One time I heard someone say, of a huge fly, "you could put a saddle on that thing." > He'll probably warm up eventually. Last summer he was quite fond of eating > them, after experimenting on them.

First thing she does when we go out in the back yard is to flop onto the concrete at the foot of the steps and have a good long roll on the sun-warmed surface. Then she'll get up and explore the yard a bit, come over to me for some pettins, then go flop on another warm patch of concrete. >> I went and got the mail and bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Dammit!

We also had 14 inches of snow in the higher elevations. My roses were ruined by the wild wind that accompanied the storm. MLB > > I went and got the mail and bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Dammit! I let in a fly.

No snow, but what leaves that were left that didn't fall off from blackspot (due to too much rain), the wind whipped to death. Sherry >> I went and got the mail and bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Dammit!

Mingus caught it (he was always the quick one) but instead of just disposing of it he waited for his brother to come along so they could share it. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 >> I went and got the mail and bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

We have no mice, so the fact that she can catch "big old bugs" is a plus. So we have a bugger, not a mouser. :-) Kathy |
