Hunting

The catfood I'm fed at the McGregor's house isn't too bad, it's not Fancy Feast or anything but it's all right. Sometimes thought, you have to go off the reservation to get the food that you really want.

Case in point, I'm a cat, cat's like to find little animals and eat them and nobody does that better than me. This afternoon it took me quite a while to track down this little lizard. I had to climb the screened-in porch trying to knock it down onto the ground.

Now the McGregor's have learned to keep the door shut so I can't just scamper around outside, except for the large male, sometimes he leaves the door open. Not today though, so the only way to get a lizard is if the family lets one in (Bonus!) or if a tail peeks in under the door. If that happens my trusty paw can pull the lizard under the door and then the feast begins.

Most cats just eat their food, but where is the fun in that? It's much more fun to play with the food before you eat it. I have seen young humans do this all the time. I like to take the lizard and hold him down with my paw. Then I like to let him run a little bit and catch him all over again. It's not as fun as the initial hunt, but it is still pretty good entertainment, and it doesn't diminish the taste one bit. After a bit of play though, it's time to eat. A few gulps and the lizard has officially become cat food!

The only problem is, my stomach is not always strong enough to digest a lizard, if this is the case, I just vomit it back up. yeah, it's gross, but at least I don't have to clean it up. That's what people are for.
