Kitties!
May Ling here.
Do you recall Felix's Pet?
Well he didn't stay hidden under the litterboxpool for long.
In my excitement to get him, he ended up behind me!
Whoops.
After a mighty battle, in which he lost a few more appendages (appendagae?), he gimped underneath the stairs. Mommy took pity on him and told me to let him expire in peace.
She's a lousy peace-nik.
I settled in to wait. You never know, he might reappear. He could've become a zombie cricket--after all, Felix played with him first and in my considered opinion Felix is a little "off". If you know what I mean.
Suddenly I heard a noise! I went on High Alert.
Was I going to have to slaughter a newly-resurrected brain-thirsty beast?
Nope. It was a false alarm...he never came back, alive or undead. Rats.
Just as well, I suppose--Mommy doesn't care for crickets and a zombified one would prolly send her (even further) 'round the bend.
Happy Tuesday!

You have a litter box POOL????
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is COOL!!!
...especially if there are critters living underneath it!
You kitties have all the fun.
; ) Katie
We were gonna comment on how nice n clean the litterbox was. It kinda gives us the "urge" if ya know what we mean. Gotta go...
ReplyDeleteHonestly, aren't you kids a little EMBARRASSED about this? I mean, between the TWO of you Mighty Hunters, you couldn't ded a cricket???
ReplyDeleteMirsku is one happy mancat - all these shots of his beloved. And he is delighted that his beloved is such a mighty huntress who shows such determination and pleasure in the task. He has gone all gooey at those gorgeous May Ling eyers and a tempting tock shot.
ReplyDeleteThis is good - we'll get some peace here as he slumps into a coma of adoration for a few days.
I am with your mommy on the cricket front
ReplyDeleteWhat is WRONG with you and Felix, May Ling? Why didn't you eat the thing? Crickets are tasty! I love snacking on them.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, it's just not cricket!!
ReplyDeleteThey need to build a Better Bug. srsly.
ReplyDelete-Gracie
Mommeh is a party pooper. Crickets are the BEST fun! And they are delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope more come to visit you!
Why don't we have our own little box pool? Not that we would use it, but why shouldn't we have it?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, back to the post at hand. You never know, that cricket might come back, when you least expect it.
Our first reaction was to your litter box pool! That is so cool!
ReplyDeleteCrickets are just tricksy.

Beautiful May Ling!! You have such adventures!! We think your hoppity friend wants to play hide and seek!!
ReplyDelete:-) Take care

After all that, you didn't get to crunch him? Aw, bummer.
ReplyDeleteHe was probably a little stale by then anyway.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's the biggest litter box we've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteMay Ling, you've got beautiful eyes. Purrs!
zombies crickets!!???!!! holy carp... gotta make sure those are dead the first time!
ReplyDeleteThe cricket story is interesting...a bit of a cliff-hanger and a "tail" of perseverance and all that...but what I'm really fascinated by is that pool. I mean, it is such a fantastic idea. A large pool instead a TON of small litter boxes is pure genius.
ReplyDeleteOh! A zombie cricket - how scary! I wonder would a zombie cricket rub his legs together to make a noise or rub his spare brains together?
ReplyDeleteYum! I'll bet it tastes good too - you should try it.f he he - it might tickle yuur tummy tho if you don 't killed it good enough,
ReplyDeleteSpitty sure does say it like he feels it, doesn't he? MOL MOL
ReplyDeleteMommys are such party poopers. We hope the next cricket comes when she's at work! By the way, you are beautiful May Ling!
ReplyDeleteA zombie cricket? Now that would have been very interesting. We are sorry he didn't ressurect so you could pounce on him!
ReplyDeleteWOW! A zombie crickett just in time for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAllie: oh Mai Ling, I know just what you mean when you say Felix is a bit "off". I have a sibling like that too *sigh*.
ReplyDeleteFaRADaY: ZOMBIE CRICKETS?!?! Kewl.
Maxwell: Dood. Allie was right.
MOL May Ling...lots of critters about blogville today. Mom says I'm a lousy huntress. When we have critter visitors I stalk them, stare them down the yell for mom...she in turn yells for Dad.
ReplyDeleteHugs Madi

ReplyDeleteWe bet you are one great huntress.

Good job May Ling, taking care of that Cricket. We love to chase them. By the way, those last three pictures are just gorgeous of you. You have such pretty fur colors. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWhat a valiant attempt to deaded that vishus cricket!
ReplyDeleteWith all those missing appendagae, we're sure that cricket couldn't limp out again if he wanted to. We think you might need to find a new one to play with.
ReplyDeleteMommy is SUCH A PARTY POOPER!! Want me to mail you a bag of Canadian crickets?
ReplyDeletevery brave of you May Ling to try to make that cricket more dedded...scary to think given Halloween and all this Frankenweenie stuff, that he could sneak back into the catio, even breed...aiiieeeee...runs from the computer to find Mom
ReplyDeletepeeEss a laugh on Mom...she thought that cricket went under a pool with WATER! Didn't look carefully to know it is the catio litter box...
ReplyDeleteZombie Crickets??? Now you're scaring me! I hope he's dead now and not under there plotting revenge as soon as you give up the watch!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, what a waste of a nice crunchy cricket. Next time don't stop to play, get straight in to the nomming.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, two of you took turns to beat it?
ReplyDeleteOUr mama wants to know who gets the plum job of cleaning out your huge litterboxpool?
Emma and Buster
So sorry your Zombie got away. Be patient, there'll be another one.
ReplyDeletexoxo Kassey
I sure hope that poor cricket has expired by now. If anyone looks like a zombie, it's you, May Ling! It's those wide open hunter's eyes that reveal your killer instinct.
ReplyDeleteYou wanna hear from peacenik? My mom bought a passel of crickets at the Reptile Dept. of the BigBox Store and then let me torment and ded and eat me one or two. All good. Next thing I know, however, she stashed the rest-um in the oven (no it was not turned on what do you think). Then took them out of the oven and let them all go. Outside. So I couldn't get my incisors wrapped around a single one more.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because the chirping was -- CUTE.
I refuse to forgive her to this very day. It's been years. I can wait.

A cricket..mmmm, what fun to have a live or short-lived as it were, cat toy!
ReplyDeleteAs they say in the biz, "Encore, encore!"
Tom
May Ling, you are so photogenic! We especially loves the high alert photo, it's pawsome.
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't get the bug, it probably would have tasted yummy! MOL
Sasha, Sami, & Saku
I think a remote control bug is what kitties need. He needs to have very secure legs, though!
ReplyDeleteCrickets---not fond of how they taste. However, I do like me some huntress lady cats...
ReplyDeleteNoir
Pssst! Crickets are tasty, so eat it, but not the back legs. They stick in your craw, so leave them for the mom. She'll thank for you it, believe us.
