RE: question:
You know, chickens do a great job of Killing bugs.....just a
thought......but, I am not sure how they behave relative to
cats......perhaps there is a genetics experiment in all this
somewheres......killer cats with beaks maybe? Or, killer chickens with fur?
Whatcha think?

Well, there was this bronze-colored beetle about the size of your thumbnail
with hairy black legs a few nights ago. The cats found it quite intriguing.
I let them play with it for several hours, until I came back into the room
and noticed that the whole thing was getting a little too cruel.
The beetle was obviously exhausted. It'd walk a few steps, then stop. One
of the cats would then tentatively tap it with a paw, and it'd walk a few
more steps, then stop. I felt kind of bad for the poor thing, so I hit it
with the Raid. Mercy killing.
I really must teach my cats to KILL. Not just TORTURE.
