Cats and Crickets

I brought home crickets to feed my lizards. As usual, all the cats wanted to paw at the bag, and then watch me release them into the lizard homes. More than once I have "accidentally" let a cricket loose on the floor. Naturally, a crowd appears, tails waving and whiskers smiling. They almost never eat the cricket, mostly watch it hop around. I later recapture the wayward cricket.

My friend's cats like to eat the crickets she releases. Yin ate one once, but then he threw up so now he just watches.

Jennifur and Aurum are both transfixed by the lizards hunting inside their cages. Occasionally, Jennifur likes to "help" the geckos by batting at the crickets inside the terrarium. The lizards respond by running and hiding.

I just realized that all of our pets are predators...
