I'll make this short about my experience cricket hunting
Way back 53 years when Marlu was an itty bitty infant, I had just gotten her back to sleep from a 2 am feeding. I get in bed and lo and behold Jimny Cricket starts singing...and it was loud. I quietly tip toed around trying to find it...finally found the sound most likely coming from the linen closet which was across from Marlu's room. Those things jump and knew actually slaying it was not going happen. So I got a jar in hopes of trapping it til morning. Well of course it jumped out of the linen closet heading toward Marlu's room. I am on all fours chasing that dag blasted cricket with the jar which was was making a thump thump on the carpet. My tushie is facing our bedroom,
the thump thump woke Bryan up he is giggling 'cause he knows what I'm doing. Thankful dang cricket was trapped, Marlu did not wake up and that is my hunting story...
Flash back of Madi January 31, 2016 with her version of what she would have done if she had been
living with us 53 years ago.

When it comes to all things creepy and crawly things, I Madison D. Cat, am a great hunter
I will hunt and hunt all the day/night long. HOWEVER, ONCE I HAVE LOCATED SAID CREEPY CRAWLY BUG, I have done my job. I always YES always,
holler to the top of my lungs...Mom come and get it while giggling, 'cause I know Mom hates bugs, and Mom would have then hollered to the top of her lungs for Dad neither of us ladies do B U G S.
As you can see from the below info on crickets domestic cats often eat crickets. I can assure a Madison D. Cat would never ever NO never stoop so low as to eat a cricket.
Why do crickets make noise at night?
In most cricket species, the males chirp to attract a female. And they mostly sing at night to help avoid predators. But Karim Vahed says some studies have shown that predators like domestic house cats follow the chirps of the crickets to find and eat them!
Rocky, do you entertain, um, Ladycat cougars? I am older but knowledgable."
However, I’m afraid my immaturity and lack of “experience” would be a disservice to a lady cat like you. You deserve the attention of a kitty who knows how to appreciate & treat you.
I believe Kat would be the purrfect match for you! He’s like a Boy Scout:
trustworthy, loyal,helpful,
friendly,courteous,kind,obedient,cheerful, thrifty, brave,clean, and reverent.
He chose all these pictures especially for you, no filters 😹, so you wouldn’t be under any false pretenses.
Hope to hear from you soon❣️
❤️ Rocky
PS. I would like to hear more about the “pilch92” kitties! 😻

1. NC has two state berries, The Blueberry and the Strawberry. They both gained the distinction of state berries in 2001.
Fruit
2. The Scuppernong Grape was designated in 2001 as the State's fruit and was written about by explorers in the 1500's. The name comes from theScuppernong RiverinNorth Carolinamainly along the coastal plain. It was first mentioned as a "white grape" in a written logbook by theFlorentineexplorerGiovanni de Verrazzanowhile exploring theCape Fear RiverValley in 1524.
Scuppernong Grape
White Grape
The scuppernong is a large variety of muscadine a species of grape native to the southern United States. It is usually a greenish or bronze color and is similar in appearance and texture to a white grape, but rounder and larger. First known as the "big white grape". Not everyone likes to eat them but I do. The skin is tough and usually not eaten. I gently bite it then suck out the delicious insides. One of our favorite NC wineries is Duplin Winery. They make several delicious wines out of Scuppernongs.
Feline Friday with Rocky and Cali
Dearest Auntie HiC on Friday's Feline and Nature Friday, I mentioned a bit
of mischief I may or may not have gotten into while Mom was out filming the nature video....well here is the rest of the story.
As you probably remember, Cali staked her claim on one of the cat igloos soon after she arrived on the hill. I don’t really mind because I love my bed, but I derive great pleasure in giving her a hard time! 😹
❤️ Rascally Rocky
Rocky OMCs...you sure do know how to flirt with danger.
Auntie HiC reminds you that Cali girl never ever forgets so you best sleep with one eye opened.
