  1. Nice of you to save it! Posted 2 years ago
    1. Thanks. She kept on attacking the bush. It was funny. Posted 2 years ago
      1. Lol, my cats attack bugs too. But, if they actually catch any, then they have no clue what to do with them. ;) Posted 2 years ago
        1. She ate a moth. She's an outdoor cat. I rent so can't have a cat indoors. Doesn't stop her from trying to get in though. Trying to make her a backyard cat because they ate other cats in the neighborhood. Posted 2 years ago
          1. Bummer she can't come inside. I rent too, but my landlord allows cats, thankfully bc we have so many wild animals in the area that would surely eat them if outside. Hope your cat stays safe! Posted 2 years ago
