Title: Eating bluebottles?
Post by: Rosella moggy on June 01, 2009, 10:41:34 AM
Our 2 six month olds can't be the only ones.  Not sure if they've actually scoffed one yet and if they did it wouldn't be a good thing but anyone know if it could actually harm them?  They chase them all the time. So do the others but the kittens do catch them (all that I've seen are let go so far)  Wouldn't have thought they are that tasty  :sick:

I wish mine did as there is one flying around the basement now. I can't spray it as there is food and water around - also an Alice asleep  :Luv2:

They're part of Riley's staple diet, I think he likes the fizzy feeling on his tongue as he eats them  :sick: He also devours any spiders too, I don't know what I'd do without him  :Luv2:

This is a true story...  literally seconds after I typed the message below Riley was laying on his back with his paws all curled up begging for a tummy rub, I stretched my leg out and rubbed his tummy with my foot when a fly flew past and he caught it between his front paws and ate it without even moving position - I was still rubbing his tummy!  :wow:

Cassie always leaves the pigeons crops and a weird triangular and conical organ behind. I have no idea what said organ is. I just know that I do not relish disposal of the remnants.

BTW! Does anyone realise how difficult it is to dispose of a large fish? Please don't mention the inevitable joke when you phone the local fish shop and say your Blue Orfe is sick, bloke could hardly talk for laughing! I didn't have anywhere to bury it so the local council cleansing department had to take it. Water refraction  makes them look a damn site smaller! You try getting rid of a dead fish that is 18 inches long and 5 inches deep between dorsal and caudal fins' you'd have a hell of a job flushing the butter! :rofl: :rofl: I just didn't bother! :evillaugh:
