Kat VS Kadiddlehopper

Kitties!

Sweet Pea here.

Mommy was whaling relaxing on the sofa when she heard the cat flap flapping madly...there was a cat conga line through the door, and everyone was following me!  

This could only mean one thing: 

Prey!

It was a ginormous grasshopper kadiddlehopper.

Minus a leg.

Kitties, he was so much fun!  Even in his compromised state he had us running and leaping all over the living room in pursuit. 

(Mommy didn't have much time to do anything but grab a camera and start taking photos, so I apologise for the quality.)

He drew quite the crowd.

After a few tentative paw pats I gave it a taste.  It was awful, which is why I didn't chase CC when he grabbed it from me and started crunching it down.  (And  foamed from the flavor.)  Naturally this won't stop us from sampling any insects in the future--you never know--maybe there's an absolutely delicious variety of kadiddlehopper out there...yet!

Happy Thursday!

The Demise of Mister Kadiddle Hopper

 Kitties!

Sweet Pea here.

Look what I caught last night! 

A Kadiddle Hopper!

He was tasty AND fun...he squirmed ever so delightfully betwixt my slavering jaws.

When I was done with Sir Kadiddle I ferried him out to the Catio for General Amusement purposes...

...and hopped up on the blue spool to enjoy the show.

Maui wasted no time to sample Mister Hopper's Crunchy goodness.

Mommy was all "Eeeeewwwww, GROSS!!!" during the chewing parts, but she kept on shooting.  

Mommy is a real trouper.

Maui moved the Kadiddle over to the other carpet for further fun and games.

He showed Scouty how to play.

Scouty gave Mister Hopper a left hook...

...followed by a right cross!

After that, Mister Kadiddle Hopper was, erm, "done".

Then Maui ate Mister Hopper, and he didn't foam!

He must have a cast-iron stomach to go along with his crazypants.

What a fun evening.

We all slept like logs after the excitement.

Happy Tuesday!
