What a young cats. 13 months old and eating wasps, hornets and

He, and yes.

Then worry! MLB

You would think that he'd learn not to do that.

Young cats will play with anything. He is probably not actually eating
them, but just playing with them. If one stings him, he will stop
playing with them and learn to leave them alone.




My neice's Siamese caught and ate a bee. She saw it happen and rushed
him to the Vet two blocks away. Cat was dead when they got there. MLB


That's weird, I guess it was allergic.


No allergy is required. A sting inside the throat will cause the airway
to swell shut and the animal to die in seconds.

Yes, that makes sense.

I was trying to get my cats interested in attacking carpenter bees
that are eating my deck but they have no interest, which is weird
because the bees are pretty big and sort of hang in the air. They have
no stingers so it would be ok. But the cats just ignore them.

Looks like I'll have to continue the war on carpenterr bees myself.
