My cat loves bugs...

I hope you can help me! We live in a small, quiet nieghborhood and our 2
cats come and go as they please via a cat door. One of the cats has a
compulsion to bring in bugs (moths and grasshoppers mostly) on a daily
basis. I have locked the cat door until I can come up with a solution to
the bug problem. Any suggestions??

Yes, continue to keep them inside. It is safer for them, and the bugs ;-)

Your cats are feeding you. They are bringing you food! How much better
does it get?

Grasshopper Pie

Melt: 3 Tbsp butter
Crush:25 grasshoppers (food processors do a good job)

Stir butter into grasshoppers, reserving some legs and antennas for
top. Line 10" pie plate with mixture.

Sautee 24 moths m (5 oz.) in 1/2 C warm milk

Add: 4 Tbsp creme de menthe amd 2 Tbsp creme de cocoa

Whip: 1 pint heavy cream

Fold into moth mixture. Pour into crust. Top with legs and antennas and
freeze until ready to serve. Remove from freezer 15 minutes before

Be thankful it's not moles, voles, birds or other cats letting themselves
in.

Any easy solution to the problem of cats and cat doors is not to have one.

I'd much rather open and close the human door for my cat than be faced with
"whatever the cat dragged in." :c)

Well, seeing that you have not provided a proper bug receptacle on the
outside...

You could always make the door one way - out.

Oh, the memories . . . at midnight . . .

did yours bring them as 'presents' when you were trying to sleep? or wose,
when you and your sig. other were having some 'quality time'? oreo got the
hint after doing that twice and her owners ran screaming from the bed and
she got locked out of the bedroom for a week.

My cat used to eat spiders, but always left the legs, never figured out
why, they must have been bitter tasting or something!
