Eat bugs, that is. It's just gross! One of my cats just got done eating a moth. And then she comes up to me wanting attention. All I can think about is moth bits in her mouth! Ewww! LOL Gross little thing. And the other one watches her like it's some kind of spectator sport.
Do your cats do this?

we have five cats at our house and they love eating bugs. even more so, they love torturing dying bugs. i'd rather them eat the bugs and get them out of my site than let them die in front of me. but it could be worse, your cat could be eating birds or mice and bringing them into the house, half dead, like our cats do.

Two weeks ago I had to feed my brother's 5 cats while he was out of town. On the last day I went into the bathroom and I saw one of the cats in the tub batting around a huge beetle. He was over an inch long. It was as if she was playing handball with this bug, bouncing him off the sides of the tub! I don't entirely trust this particular cat not to bite me (she's not very friendly), and so I figured I'd better not try to take it from her. The next day my brother came back, and when he called me to tell me he was home, I happened to mention the bug in the tub. He told me that she'd eaten most of it! Apparently she does this all the time. She sits on the windowsill and watches birds all day, and she gets incredibly frustrated because they're outside and she's inside. I guess she has to satisfy her killer instinct somehow, so she takes it out on any bug she sees.

We have four cats, and two of them are brothers. Tom, the grey one is a tiny tiger and catches mice, birds-anything that moves! He brought back a pigeon once and on another occasion came out of the wood dragging what looked like a pterodactyl-it was probably a fledgling crow!
His brother Charlie was obviously cross bred with a teddy bear. He is a walking cuddly toy. One autumn day when he could find a harmless looking one, he once caught a leaf.
He was very proud of himself and carried it about for ages.
He is more worried about birds catching him. Whenever a heron flies over he runs to hide under something- he does the same when buzzards are hunting in the field, but I can see his point there!
Tom just sits and watches them. You can see him thinking,
"Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough!"
Of the other two, Windle believes that I am her Mother (wrong species, wrong gender, sorry Windle) and Parkin will bite you if you don't stroke her when she wants to be stroked. She picks up your hand in her teeth and twists round so it is on her head.
All cats are crazy in their own way.

Do your cats.....
Ewwie...... yes, my cats are awful!
They eat bugs all the time, on the other hand it saves me having to catch and dispose of them, err the bugs that is not the cats.
Fred (Tomcat with major playboy attitude) has caught more mice/birds than I can remember however he knows not to bring them home to daddy. Who will take them away if he can
)
However, one night a few weeks back it was raining heavily and the usual meow got me to open the bedroom window to let Fred in. I was woken again very shortly after by the chasing noises of both my cats trying to catch the bloomin' mouse I'd let in(

Over the last several years i have had numerous cats, and yes i think they all chase and eat bugs. But i think the biggest thing one of my cats brought home was a rabbit, it was still alive so we dropped it off at the local widlife shelter. But the cat wasn't happy when we took it from him.

My little monster, Maggie the Terrible, isn't an outside cat, but if I let the dog out and leave the door open, she'll venture to the patio. She brings mommy field mice that have the misfortune of running past and bugs.
Her worst habit tho, is the kneading and sucking on my shoulder. I don't know if she's reverting to kittenhood or what
She has an attitude from hell and put my neighbours Rottie in his place real quick when he was here being babysat. Looked like a little Mike Tyson up on her back legs..smack smack smack with both paws. Poor dog had only gone for a look at what this seven pound fluff ball was

I live in the country so my three cats catch, kill and eat lots of things. The worst is when Nala catches and eats these huge garden spiders.Apparantly spider legs are either too bony or too bitter cause she always leaves them in a pile.

My cat used to bring all kinds of bugs & mice in, but in her old age, she just looks at a bug & turns her nose up. She has become a dowager kitty & sits on her throne making me wait on her.

If our cats do not hunt, they do not eat.
Most of the Toms are so torn and wounded, e.g., one eye, three legs, half-an-ear, and more, that bugs are about all they can come up with.

Purple hearts
Are you kidding they are vets.
Wounded in action vets!
They all sit around drinking milk and recounting old war stories...
"Hey, you remember that time, back in 94 I think it was, when we got ambushed by that German unit (the shepherd next door)? Man that was some firefight wasn't it? It was hairy for awhile but we made it through....."
