You've heard me talk about my incredible insatiable taste for insects before...mmmm...yummy. Last night the most delectable treat wandered into the kitchen. The people were out at the grocery store so I took the chance to enjoy my feast in private.

It was HUGE! It was one of these (note from mom: EW! I had to find a rendered image because the real ones just make my skin crawl!) Camel or Cave Cricket . The Chip Man is always down in the basement killing these this time of year. It bounces REALLY high, but not as high as me! Chase looked on as a disgusted Kaze left the room (she can be such a priss). I take my title as the House Hunter very seriously so I was on the job. It was a tough fight and just as I overcame the creature Meowmy and the Chip Man returned from the store.

Meowmy looked at what was in my mouth and walked right back out the back door. The Chip Man being oh so fierce (NOT) didn't even venture in the house. Meowmy kept checking on me and at one point I was in devour mode and I was much/crunching away. All that was left was a leg. I ate that too.

For the rest of the night they kept calling me "Cricket Cat". They used to call me that because of the cute way I jump but I think this was not as nice. They didn't want me near them. That's not nice as I did them a service. Of course last night I was pretty snuggly so they couldn't resist me for too long.

This morning I left her a little pile of regurgitated greenies (she wanted the cricket out of my mouth) and a leg.

Edited: Meowmy notcied the link wasn't working and now it is. Guess you're all brave to have visited the picture ;)
