I laugh everytime I think of this, my cats do exactly the same thing.

Except last year I had a half grown pissed Tiger snake let go inside. Something you just dont want to mess with.

My kitty Boots is a known serial killer in the insect community. He guards me from arachnids when I sleep. He knows no fear.

One of my cats loves Post-It notes. He jumps to pull them off the fridge and then he "chases" them all around the house.

My mother had a Russian blue cat who did the same thing. Rajie would bring home freshly cooked meat (we don't know where he was stealing it from) T bone steaks, sausages, chops, chicken all kinds of BBQ meats. Some of them still hot from the BBQ. He would place them at the foot of my Mum and Dads bed. They came in at all times of the night. My other cat Kimberley who lives at my parents place, brings home rats with their head bitten off as a gift. Not a very nice gift to find early in the morning when you are eating breakfast. :thepain:

My Douglas is a fussy little fella. He doesn't like food that involves a lot of chewing - he prefers to chase a bite size piece of steak around the house then eat it. He has a weaknesss for junk food, especially cheesels (much the same as me :yum:) . He was a stray kitten and very skittish when we first got him, so he used to hide in my room whenever we had visitors. But he alwas crept out when he smelled the cheesels!

If our cats caught a mouse in the house, (or sneaked one in) would always leave them outside the door to the darkroom. That was the only room in the house they weren't allowed in. Bribe? :litebulb:

Technically, an arachnid is a spider (8 legged) and an insect has only six legs. Different genus you know. But they are all bugs.

Flashback to biology class omitted for brevity

Just clarifying because no one else has, yet.

Nope - not bugs at all - "Bugs" are of the genus Hemiptera - having forewings with both membranous and hard portions

The are nectar drinkers

So most "Bugs" are not BUGS

Bugs are whatever I deem them to be.

Wings not required, I will cheerfully label crawling things bugs even if they are not. :D

Bugs has long ears and usually a carrot. ;)
