Living in Some Places Can Cost You an Arm and a Leg.
But if you are a grasshopper and choose to live around cats, it will only cost you a leg!
We have been cat owners most of our lives. We have taken in 13 cats over the last 28 years and gave each one of them a good home. Although we have never had more than 4 cats at any one time, one thing we have noticed that they all have something in common - that is when they confront (torment) a grasshopper for their enjoyment, they never kill the poor thing... they just remove one leg which gives the tired (or lazy) cat a "handicapped" advantage in re-capturing their little hopping toy! Every cat we have ever had seems to know this little trick and it makes me wonder... what do cats "really" know?
This guy was found hanging out in a stairwell after a close encounter with the neighbor's cat. (picture by me)
Awesome post, great job, keep it up!
It's great when they leave you little gifts of mauled mice and geckos too :D
Our cats are too well fed to mess with mice. But I have found many a gecko with missing legs and no tail!
the grasshopper is so sad that the locust can not fly anymore, why the cat is very hearty to molest the grasshopper, you are a cat lover apparently, I am at home often angry with the cat, because often steal fish on the table hehehe, but if they are good I love the cat
We love cats, big and small. They are very intelligent (contrary to what some people believe) and each has their own personality. Leaving fish on the table is your mistake, as they are only taken what you left for them. Not to be mad at them for what their instincts tell them to do.
