Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2008How I was awakened this morning
I only caught the tail end of this action when they were getting tired out - it was going on for 20 minutes! Da Boyz were trying to capture a Daddy Longlegs mosquito on the other side of the doors. Turn your computer speakers up high to get the full effect I got at 6AM - it sounded like a home invasion! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcBntXkygOg  SignatureHugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ >I only caught the tail end of this action when they were getting tired >out - it was going on for 20 minutes!

Thanks! when they were jumping in unison and slamming into the door together it really did sound like a home invasion - I sat straight up in bed and almost screamed. Thank goodness that when I did sit up I was facing the door and saw it was only Da Boyz being their usual boisterous selves or I think I might have had heart failure! It took me quite a while to calm down, wake up properly and then think to go get the camera. I wish I could have captured more of this, they were doing some *really* prodigious leaps before they got tired! It was almost as if the Daddy Longlegs on the other side of the door was teasing them on purpose! ;> Hugs, CatNipped >I only caught the tail end of this action when they were getting tired >out - it was going on for 20 minutes!

We called 'em Mosquito eaters......Quite scary when you're a kid. Then Dad got us the rubber band guns. muhahaahahaha......... Man mine would go nuts if one was in my place. >>I only caught the tail end of this action when they were getting tired >>out - it was going on for 20 minutes!

I wondered if she meant those mosquitos with the real long legs and whether she made the name up herself or if others use it. Andy >>>I only caught the tail end of this action when they were getting tired >>>out - it was going on for 20 minutes! Da Boyz were trying to capture [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > whether > she made the name up herself or if others use it. It's a long legged mosquito - at least that's what we called them in New Orleans. Like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTYg1TjAl8E&watch_response - apparently other people call them mosquito hawks. Never saw a Daddy Longlegs spider.

I can't wait to use it now. Andy LOL, I love that first 'double action' leap!

That's mostly what they were doing - hitting the door at the exact same time so it really sounded like somebody trying to break down my doors (well, technically, it *was* somebody trying to break down my doors, Da Boyz, but to get out to the insect, not in).

I do know they don't bite like mosquitos do :) According to this their "real" name is crane fly, but "skeeter eater" and "daddy long-legs" are also listed as colloquial names for it. >> Turn your computer speakers up high to get the full effect I got at >> 6AM - it sounded like a home invasion! >> >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcBntXkygOg > > Very cute indeed!

Yes, one could look at is as my mini protectors saving me from the ravages of insects trying to get through the doors to me! ;> Hugs, CatNipped |
