Default Shamrock caught a cicada

This weekend is the first I've seen of them, and HEARING them. Shamrock
caught one but it was beneath him to eat such a creature. lol He just let
it go after it fluttered in his paws. They don't put up much fight so
probably aren't much fun.

I haven't seen any cicadas yet. But we're way south & west of you, so maybe
later in the summer. :-)
We are having a moth invasion of plague proportions, though. Or that's how it
seems.

LOL! I won't let my neighbour lady know that it is beneath a *cat* to eat
cicadas when I see her catching them with a net on a long stick from the
tree next to her house and stuffing them into her mouth!

Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered
in fur!

When I was a kid, we had a Chihuahua that LOVED to catch cicadas, but he
would never eat them - he held them in his mouth while they buzzed away, but
then he chomped and then dropped them, and then went after another. Seemed
he liked the buzzing they did in his mouth. Weird dog

At first I was amazed to read this, but then I looked and saw who it was
from - or rather, *where* it was from.

What about Vino? Have you ever seen him eat one?

I have a policy about food: it has to be *dead* before I'll eat it.
