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 got 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...

Feline Friday

Nature Friday 

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!

Wings on Words Wednesday: Fun Facts with Rocky

 Dear Auntie HiC,

Maybe they stay in the nest so long because they’re embarrassed to be seen in public! 😹

Mom has a funny story (it wasn’t so funny at the time) about pigeons. 

When Mom was 4 years old she and her parents were visiting her grandparents in Savannah, GA. Savannah eventually became home to

Mom when her dad retired from the Marine Corps. 

On this particular trip Mom, her mother, & Grandma Kitty visited Forsyth Park in downtown Savannah. As they usually did, they purchased parched peanuts to feed the pigeons. For some unknown reason, Grandma Kitty thought it would be funny to put a few peanuts on Mom’s head to see the pigeons’ reaction. This was completely out of character for Grandma who was actually very kind & loving. 

This picture was taken about 10 seconds before that occurred. To Grandma’s surprise about 5 pigeons immediately flew onto Mom’s head and started pecking away at the peanuts! Needless to say, there’s no picture of Mom jumping up , screaming & running around hysterically! 🙀 Grandma was so remorseful, they stopped on the way home for banana splits. 

❤️ Rocky

Dearest Rocky Auntie HiC is 1000% sure if you had been there on that day you would have shown those pesky pigeons NO ONE Messes with your adorable Mom and her Mom. However, I do love that it ended with a Banana Split.

Love Auntie HiC

Happy Tuesday with Kat
