Title: Parki tried to eat a bee
Post by: alisonandarchie on October 22, 2011, 16:42:10 PM
I came home from shopping and could see Parki was patting something. As I got closer I could see it was a bee which she then put it in her mouth before I could grab her :hairrasin:

Thankfully she spat it out when I screamed and was not stung :-[

I then managed to rescue bee :)

I was a bit surprised as she is 11 and not a little un :-:

Norti Parki frightening her mum like that.   :hug:   Glad no harm was done to either cat or bee.  ;D

I used to have a cat who caught and ate wasps and she never seemed to get stung (or if she did it didn't bother her).   :Crazy:  She ate bluebottles as well and the crunch they made when she bit into them made me feel :sick: I did feed her honestly  :rofl:

Hamish Used to Like a Nibble on the old Blu Bottlers, but for some reason, He stayed a good paws distance away
from the Bumble bee's, and would just sit and watch them, sometimes the urge would get the better of him and
He would raise a paw for a swipe, but always at the last second would change his mind  :scared:

Glad Parki's ok  ;)

mine love a blue bottle too  :sick:  and they do pat bumble bees but I've never seen them eat one, after what happened to Lotties cat a couple of years ago I am glad (at least I think it was one of Lottie's??)

Its strange Parki is not at all bothered with bluebottles or other flies :-:

She is very partial to moths though :sick:

It was quite big and from a hive. Wondering if it was a queen :shify: It wasn't a furry bumble bee

Could well have been a queen. They tend to come in at this time of year to look for somewhere to hibernate. I remember one in the front room a couple of years back, which was almost the size of a mouse. I thought she was lovely, but neither OH nor The Munchkin thought so- it was funny to see them both standing on their respective chairs, refusing to come down until she had gone!
