It's not a bug, it's a feature!

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

When I got my cat we came to an understanding that she would at least try to catch any bugs that get in the house... She has not upheld her end of the bargain.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

She doesn’t try, or does she actively add to the population inside instead?

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

She'll just sit there and watch it go by, then look at me like I should do something about it. A bug will walk 2 inches from her paw and she won't even bat at it lol

Oh, you have been graced by the rare Monitor-Cat. Its mission is to observe only and keep a daily log. If required, they send in a specimen of an unknown crawler it encountered, which is analyzed in the catlab.

Serve your cat well and you shall meow.

Our cats like to bring grasshoppers in the house

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The outside cats like to bring me birds and occasionally half of a squirrel lol last week one of them brought me a live bird that flew away as soon as she dropped it!

[-] MidnightBanjo@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

This one does big grasshoppers and knows better. Last year he came in and my wife asked what was in his mouth, so he moved faster. She followed and caught him trying to hide the grasshopper.

Another of our cats (moonpie) brings birds and mice. Once came home to him licking a dead mouse on our bed with murder in his eyes.

My big calico who sadly passed away about about a year ago used to leave headless squirrels on the front porch for me. It was always somewhat horrifying to find one of those first thing in the morning lol I never did find out what she did with the heads, and now I'm afraid one day I'll find a pile of them under the house somewhere 🐿️💀😰

[-] MattBlackAlien@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Sorry to tell you this, but if she was anything like our cat was with rabbits - she eat them.

Probably seeing another dimension.

[-] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

That single orange brain cell is just dinging around in there like a pinball trying to figure it out

I love his freckly nose!!!

[-] MidnightBanjo@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

His freckle nose is adorable

[-] littlecolt@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I have an orange boy, 18 years old, and he has one huge freckle on his nose, and lots of little freckles on his lips. It's an orange cat thing, apparently, and I love it.

[-] MidnightBanjo@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Despite not seeing it on the character, my cats freckles help me understand why the orange cats nickname is Freckles in the comic and animated pilot of lackadaisy

Looks like Gingersnap is high, and seeing dragons on your ceiling.

[-] MidnightBanjo@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Unfortunately the best catnip my cats liked my brother made at home and he has since passed away, so no catnip

[-] vivavideri@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Smooch her head for me 😭

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

I had a kitty warn me about a brown recluse spider on my ceiling once. Very grateful for that one. Their venom will fuck you up.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

My cat does this is one room of the house...regularly (3-4 times a week)...and there is never anything there.

It's super super weird. He'll run into the room then immediately and aggressively look up and stare at the ceiling. Nearly every. single. time. And we can't figure out why.

It's been a thing for 2 years now.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Have you checked for mice nesting in the ceiling there?

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Oh my gosh, that's actually a plausible idea...thanks!

Thanks

I miss the greebles community.

[-] cinabongo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

We had a pact. Out by 16 or dead on the scene together for fucking ever

[-] sinkingship@mander.xyz 0 points 4 months ago

You sure they didn't do catnip with their friends? Looks quite trippin.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Is it drugs? Are are there drugs on the ceiling?
