Yes, cats eat bugs. I looked after one that would go nuts trying to catch anything with wings in the house and then rip the wings off one by one and play with the poor bug. She would get mortally offended when I would put the bug out of it’s misery. She didn’t even stop when she got stung by a wasp a couple of times.
That furry bug is weird, looks like something not of this earth. It I found it it would either be scooped up with a newspaper and returned to it’s natural habitat (ie. NOT MY HOUSE) or squished and/or flushed like the spiders I find… when the dog doesn’t eat them. He eats ants too 🙄

Like , how small is this dog?—-Ants?
( or does he have a long pointy snout and very long claws?)I love bugs. ^_^ I’m always the person that’s catching them (in cups if they’re possibly venemous) and taking them out to the bushes…I like having spiders in the house – they catch all the other annoying bugs.
(we used to feed a lot of bugs we caught in the house to our geckos, when we had geckos…I still feed some to the fish sometimes.)"He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."

My cat is wierd. He thinks he’s a BOLD ferocious hunter. He eats flies, spiders, chipmunks, birds, anything he can get his littel paws on.

Me too. I have spiders in the house and I generally leave them alone, except for the big scary looking ones. My boyfriend gets to take those outside. 🙂
Ya I leave spiders alone in the house too, the only think I can not handle are butterflies and moths.

Butterflies and moths don’t last long in our house. Our dog harley is big enough now this year I’m sure he’ll get what the cat misses haha.

( or does he have a long pointy snout and very long claws?)Sam is a black lab, german shepard, blue heeler cross or basically a mutt. He’ll wait by the ant hills and lick them up as they come out, or he’s also been known to try and dig up the ant hilss in the garden which generally gets a “NO!” when we catch him. He also digs up and eats the carrots and potatoes. He’s one weird dog 😯
My husband HATES spiders but I let them stay and just don’t tell him about them- I’m okay with little fuzzy black ones and really small ones, anything inbetween is NOT allowed in the house! As to othr bugs it’s a case by case basis- no spiders, roaches, and I feel a little guilty about washing silverfish down the drain but hey- they’re in my house, it wasn’t built for them!
*shiver* I had silver fish. I used to live in an apartment that was next to the laundry room in the building. There were these bugs that looked like silver fish, but had lots of legs (not centipedes, that’s another horror story) all over my apartment because of it. I would sometimes find them in my bed with me. *shiver* I moved as quickly as I could afford it. (need an emoticon for being grossed out)
