Felix Entertains a Guest

Kitties!

Felix here.


So there I was, out on the Catio, above the new bookcase climber-bed thingy, when I heard a strange noise.

I went to investigate!

Hmmmmmm...
nothing in this box...and Maui's in the next one down.
I needed to go lower.
And dig in the bedding a little.

A-HA! 
A snack!
Hello, Mister Grass Hopper!

You're here rather late in the year. 
Mommy is pretty lucky I found Mister Hopper, and then Daddy found me finding him.

Mommy isn't afraid of much, but Hoppers FREAK her out! 
Especially Ginormous HUGE Hoppers.

Daddy put my Snack Guest back in the yard, and I put on my crankypants.
Bub-Bye, Mister Hopper.  You got lucky this time.
Next time I'll eat you before Daddy spots you.


Happy Thursday!

XX  Felix

  1. That IS a big grasshopper. We had very few this year, maybe because we had our coldest Summer in 40 years. They look fun to chase but not that delicious to eat.

  3. Wow. That hopper was HUGE! What size are the spiders there ? And it is totally unfair it was taken away from you. Your expression is priceless.

  6. Felix, you have been GYPPED! That was a huge meal of crunchy green tastiness and your male human STOLE it from you! Next time, maybe you should eat your greens in private.

  7. You'll have to be faster next time Felix. Didn't your mum want you to eat your greens? They are very healthy you know.

  11. Doesn't seem fair you didn't get to enjoy the fruits(?) of your hard labor....

    ReplyDelete
  12. Annie's all a-flutter at your brave mancatliness, Felix. She can't believe your dad stole your snack and set it free, though. She's going to put on her crankypants in solidarity.

    Meanwhile, he mom, who rather likes grasshoppers, is FREAKING OUT at the size of that one!

  13. Felix I'm with mom....I cannot stand the hoppers you just never know where they will land and if I see them then they disappear you might find me on top of something I should not be on top of...
    I'd rather have a bear chasing me than a spider or hopper. At least I can see the bear. LOL

  14. Oh Felix, we don't blame you for putting on your cranky pants. We would be extremely cranky too. That was one gigantic grasshopper. That would have been lunch and dinner. Take care and have a better day.

  15. Live and learn, Felix, live and learn.

  16. :) Dunno, Felix...I love playing with hoppers too...I tried to eat one once...it made me gag! Sorry your folks took yours away tho.

  17. Felix,

    We meant to add that your mom had the winning bid on the silk scarf, item #8 in Derry's auction.

    Once she's paid via PayPal on the auction page, our mom will send an email to the donor so the scarf can be shipped. Just like last time...except we're not the donors. LOL. Thanks so much to your mom!

  18. You can eat a really big one? Wouldn't that be super dooper crunchy??

    ReplyDelete
  19. Talk about slavering beasts!!! WOW that's a huge hopper! We've got teeny little ones maybe about an inch long around here. Tell your dad he can borrow our dad's hockey stick if he ever needs it.

    ReplyDelete
  20. What a bummer that you didn't get it for a snack, Felix.....maybe he'll show up again when your daddy is napping so you can get him!!!!!!!!!

    xxxxxxxxx

  21. Your dad is a meanie - Mr Grasshopper could have given you lots of luscious snacks. Better luck if he shows up again.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Grasshoppers have lots of protein in em! :) Once in a while I try to catch em during the summer, but they're lightening quick. It's a special treat when I get one! :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. That was a HUGE hopper - but we are glad your daddy saved him! LOVE the bookcase/cat shelving. What an AWESOME idea.

    ReplyDelete
  24. That is a shame Felixl. He looked very crunchy.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh what a shame they saw you. I would have loved to have found that to play with and would have loved even more to hear him go crunch.. Never mind better luck next time.. Hugs GJ x

    ReplyDelete
  26. Felix you look just plain disgusted that your dad took away your snack! He's no fun... I have a feeling another one will come along soon -- keep your eyes peeled!

    ReplyDelete
  27. WOW! Mr GrassHopper is awesome. And can we see yoor cranky-pants? Wot colour are they?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Wow!! You are amazing that you were able to find Mr.Grasshopper waaaaay down there! You really went on a hunt!

    You did deserve your "prize" though...
    I am like your Mom...I would have been HUGELY freaked out!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh well, easy come, easy go...just relax and have a NipHopper instead!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Felix, having your snack taken away would make any cat cranky. Now we understand - you're abused and mistreated. We'll have our mom write to the feline rights group in Nevada.

    ReplyDelete
  31. That's too bad about them taking your hopper outside. He could have been a snack for several kitties!

    ReplyDelete
  32. DRATS!!!!
    That hoppy guy looked like super good fun.
    All ruined by dad -- and a squirming mom doesn't help.

    bonks for better luck next time

    ReplyDelete
  33. Holy Smokes!!! That is a ginormous hopper! Meowm says she never saw one that big when she lived in Sin City. (She did however hate the cicadas). We are sorry you didn't at least get to nibble on him.

  34. Felix
    Your Mom isn't the only Mom freaked out by HUGE hoppers. *ewwwww* is what my Mom did when she saw the big picture...and I went *noms* I am sorry your Dad did not let you get to enjoy your treat!

  35. Gee how mean, huh? That was YOUR hopper. We like those too, but I tend to throw them into the garden and then Au and Target give me that same look you have!

    Listen we're all excited because our romance novel Blackmail Bride is out! It's in Kindle, B&N and Sony ebook format as well as PDF. Check out the blurb and first chapter at our blog http://tinyurl.com/378kwb2. 10% goes to Friends Furry Farm, a no kill animal sanctuary. Tell all your friends please?

  36. Felix, I'd put my cranky pants on too if my snack I found was whisked away from me! NO FAIR! I'm willing to call the Cat Snack Authorities on him if you need me to. Well, wait, maybe no. After all, he's Rupert's daddy and I need to respect that. Tell you what. Keep your cranky pants on for the evening and then, all should be forgiven.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Whoa! They grow those hoppers big out in the desert, don't they?? We don't blame you for putting on your crankypants...how unfair that your daddy took your new "toy" away!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. That may be the largest grasshopper I've ever seen!!! Snack? A meal I think :-)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Poor Felix! That was some catch buddy! What a whopPURR of a hopPURR! But what's a hunter to do when Daddy takes his prey away? I hope they at least gave you some treats instead.

    By the way, Johnny's on the LOLSpot today.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Wow that was a huge grasshopper you found.

    I know how terrible it is to have your family steal your prey away from you. I found and killed a mousie once and Pellie wouldn't let me bring it into the house.

    Purrs,
    Genghis

  41. Whoa, that is a HUGE hopper!! I bet he would've made a tasty snack.

    ReplyDelete
  42. That is one HUGE hopper! I'm kinda glad your Dad found him before you made him a snack coz I like hoppers very much. :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. OMC! We wanna have a guest like that too!!!
