Not a gift I wanted...
11.04.04 (12:45 pm)   [edit]
Last night, I'm sitting on the couch watching Hildago (GREAT movie, btw). Being a good patient and doing the 'bedrest' thing that the dr. ordered. It was dark so I called in the kitties.

Sassy comes bounding in, hops up on my lap (as I'm groaning b/c she's landed on my incision) and drops a COCKROACH. A live one. I throw her off, jump up - the roach goes scurrying somewhere in my down comforter. (Shit!) I find something to squash it with and some bug spray.

I'm armed and ready for battle.

I carefully grab the comforter and start shaking it. Not seeing the infidel. (Again, from Hidalgo). The cats are both sitting on the floor - watching.

Then it scurries across the carpet...

Did the cats budge?

Of course not.

The critter crawls behind my huge tv. I can't reach it squashing-wise. But I can spray the hell out of it.

It died a slow and painful death. Mosquito spray works on other insects...

I'm wondering if I should hang the carcass outside as a warning to other potential invaders?

I've told you to leave your live toys outside and if you insist on bringing in bugs to be like Lulu and take off the legs on one side so they can't run.

Ahhh.. relief!! I'm not the only one with to pussies for cats!! ha ha ha...

My kitties are indoor kitties... but when the frost starts to come all the little bugs outside (mostly ladybugs and daddy longlegs) come into the house and our little kitty just watches the ladybugs in horror... He comes running into whatever room we are in mewing and crying up a little storm.. HELP HELP!!! He is soo scared of the little bug... ha ha ha... and our other cat... meh.. he's too fat to care... he just let's the bugs crawl on him while the other one watches in horror!!...

mosquito spray.. hey?? I'll have to remember that...

Mine are pretty much indoor cats. My backyard is surrounded by an 8ft fence and I often leave the back door cracked so they can come in/out. They are well-behaved and come in when I call them and also come in every hour or so to say hi so I know they aren't up to no good. ;)

I don't have any stitches except the ones holding my drains in - and one of them is coming out.

The cats LOVE to play with my drains and chew on the tubes. (I've had to duct tape in in places to keep the suction/air pressure!!!)

LOL! of course. you should garrotte it for good measure and a clearer message. string it high so your little ones can't get to it, though.

now go and rest again, scubs.

I have a fenced backyard too and I used to keep my backdoor propped open sometimes so the dogs could come in an out until one of the dogs brought in some newborn rabbits. I wasn't too pleased about that.

ewww, roaches! our first apartment had roaches who were immune to bug spray!! Nasty critters. They were all invited to the Roach Hotel. I should have bought shares in that company.

A baby bunny got into my back yard a few springs ago - the cats were chasing it - they wanted to play. I think I have a picture of it on my photobucket Little bunny was fine, scared, but fine.

How about just put the mouse into the trash and have a moment of silence if it's dead?

That's really nice. Next time check to see if the critter is alive, if not, trash it or else Orangie is going to put it in your bed.

Get this... In one of my past apartments I had a mouse. He decided to make his home INSIDE my cat's bag of cat food. How's that for irony? Scared the hell out of me the first time I stumbled out of bed to feed the cat and out plops a mouse into his dish. (The cat never did catch him, either.)
