      My cat had a spider fren for a little while that she refused to kill and eat like any other bug in the house. His name was Gerard.

    In the last apartment we rented shortly after a new next-door neighbor moved in, we started finding roaches in our place. 100% came from the neighbor because she’s nasty. One night I felt something crawl on me in the bed. Yep, a roach. Fun times.

      My cat was confused at first, then realised this was a really fun game where he can finally reach the flies. But he just kind of bats them around for fun like they’re an elaborate cat toy. I didn’t even realise it was possible to deal nonlethal 0dmg to a fly. I still do it sometimes, but he’s so useless at killing things 😂 literally wouldn’t hurt a fly

      Our cat loves to kill mosquitoes and such. Understandably he doesn’t like to play with stink bugs much, but I’m still stuck in the conundrum that he wants to attack wasps. If one gets in I don’t want him to get stung, but also him getting stung would probably be what would defer him going after wasps, or he may never be stung, but it always ends with me trying to capture or kill the wasp and fighting to keep the cat at a safe distance with my leg, arm and anything else I can use.

        Hah, me with my dogs. They love chasing and killing flies, but the downside is they also go after bugs with stingers. I always have to yell at them to leave those alone, because I don’t want to find out how they react to a sting and I know they wouldn’t learn anything from the experience, lol.
