Dearest Auntie HiC
I saw the strangest looking creature crawling on the gazebo.
Naturally, I was very curious and tried to get a closer look.
Apparently, I wasn’t the only curious one. Next thing I knew, we were face to face!🙀
Mom said it’s a Phasmida, stick-bug, and there are more than 3,000 species of walking sticks all over the world.
Do you see it!?!🙀
It was certainly a close encounter of the sticky kind. Ha!
No stick-bug or kitten was harmed in the process of making this video!😻
Sound on, please:
❤️ Rocky, Your Ginger Nephew
Ohhhhhhhhh dear nephew...I can see it and OMCs what a visitor to have. He has excellent taste to want to be up close to you and be your friend! Now honestly I hope and purrr he does not bring all his relatives to meet you...that could be a really ‘sticky’ situation. Mol mol that was a little auntie humor.
Uncle and I watched your action video at breakfast. We love the music
and your moves!!
With love and many thanks for these wonder photos.
Your devoted Auntie HiC
oh boy a walking stick? butt its no walkingstick right?
ReplyDeleteGosh, if you ask me, that stick guy needs to eat some good square meals.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Bertie.
Rocky, that stick was being presumptuous walking over you!
ReplyDeleteHe must have really wanted to meet you, Rocky. I have met a praying mantis before but never a walking stick!
ReplyDeleteI love stick-bugs. Haven't seen any here in Florida but we had them in the fall in Missouri. What a special find Rocky. I am glad you met a stick-bug!

ReplyDeleteOh lucky Rocky - I is a fan of all things insect!!! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Poor Rocky. I don't like bugs either.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pesty bug. That stick was almost stuck on Rocky's head.
ReplyDeletei have seen them, but never on a cat or even on a human, and that would scare me silly. but you Rocky took it well and the video is Pawfect with the music.. good to see you again
ReplyDeleteThat thing was bugging you for sure. I'm glad you didn't harm each other.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Big hug to your Auntie C. ♥
That's amazing Rocky dude, we've not noticed anything like it here but we'll sure be on the lookout now!
ReplyDeleteeeeek...I'd be running away! Brave cat!
ReplyDeleteWow, that dude's really skinny! I think I might've tried to play fetch with him, since that's what sticks are for, so it's probably better you met him instead of me.
ReplyDeleteGolly! I'm not sure if there are any stick bugs in our neck of the woods, but now I'm going to research that.
ReplyDeleteThe Northern Walkingstick can be found in my area; now I have to find one!
DeleteStick bugs are pretty cool. XO
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is...with close encounters of those sticks, you're truly not a scaredy cat!! WTG
ReplyDeleteOMD! At first I thought you had a stick in your eye! We haven't seen any bugs like that in countless years!
ReplyDeleteWe thought you got a stick in the eye until we watched the video, well done!
ReplyDeleteWOW...what a cool bug, looks like he really liked playing in your whiskers, Rocky!!
ReplyDeletedood....that bug had sum kinda nerve pouncin on yur head like that....cod....

Bug on your head! Bug on your head! Run for life there is a bug on your head!
ReplyDeleteRocky, we have never seen a stick bug. We will look for one, but he had best not try to walk on us:)
ReplyDeleteWoos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Oh, dude, I can't believes that stick man tried to 'stick you up'!!! The nerves! Wells, at least you gots him off your head, that's good. I would have discovered if he tastes like chicken. just sayin'
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
Hi Rocky. Mom says she remembers sitting in a sand box as a child, up in Pencil Vania, and grabbing a stick bug, thinking it was a stick. Kinda freaked her out, as you can tell since she remembers it from about 87 years ago, BOL. I would probably check out what it tastes like. XOX Xena
ReplyDeleteWe had one of those in the house oh so long ago Rocky. He never told us how he got in and Dad took him back outside. Thanks for the fun dood
ReplyDeleteWe haven't seen one of those stick guys in ages but I find them totally fascinating when I DO see one. They kind of jerk along when they walk sometimes and have one of the best "DISGUISES" of any critter I know!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy
