He didn't seem to be afraid of me at all. He'd scoot around nibbling bits off the wheatgrass I planted, then drinking from the flat dish of water I put out for the geckos. I named him Mickey. <br /><br />He disappeared one day....Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-32383943480653498102010-06-21T16:28:05.431+01:002010-06-21T16:28:05.431+01:00G'Day Kath,

It turns out that she had seen the mouse earlier and had left the front door open in an attempt to entice it outside.<br /><br />In the end, she set Poppy on the mouse but it managed to run under the TV bench before the claws struck home.<br /><br />I prefer football to be honest...<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-91042169011809037862010-06-21T16:23:35.401+01:002010-06-21T16:23:35.401+01:00Hi Nomad,

I have a big problem with insects so seeing a massive cockroach would have scared me half to death. One thing's for sure, I wouldn't have tried to save the bugger - my reaction would have been similar to yours.<br /><br />Thankfully, we don't encounter massive insects here and the cats usually dispatch them to the aftelife with the same extreme prejudice as they do birds and mice.<br /><br />Great comment.<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-51327495821779569422010-06-21T02:05:45.689+01:002010-06-21T02:05:45.689+01:00Oh PlasMan.....

I ...Lord, I had a similar situation two nights ago. I walked into the kitchen and noticed that "something" was up with my cats. There was that look of fear in their eyes or maybe it's shock. (It's so hard to tell with cats.) <br />It wasn't long before I saw the problem. There was a cockroach climbing up the cabinet door. It was huge and I am not saying overgrown, I am saying the size of a basketball player's thumb. The cats were dazzled but uncertain, mesmerized. When I knocked it to the ground, I was thrown into a major panic when it.... flew. Clumsy and heavy like a moth but it was definitely seizing the initiative and moving toward my direction. And there's that horrible moment when you lose track of it for a second. Standing their in a towel didn't help my mobility much- but on the other hand, it didn't hurt much either because the towel went in one direction and I, timid I, went in the opposite. I managed to find the spray and gave the beast a major bath, causing the cats to move back out of the drama. In the end, the bugger died, twitching his eyebrows and arms folded. BUT.. ugh, flying cockroaches? It's like a prop from a nightmare that a psychotic would dream.Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686282358562565742noreply@blogger.com
