My cats absolutely love insects! Be it spiders, moths, beetles, earwigs, flys... they have to hunt it down and eat it!

They go absolutely mental when they see or hear one. Their fave at the mo is moths, they play with them for a little while then eventually eat them. The sound of it's body crunching in their mouth is just nasty. I just let them get on with it, they have done it since day one and hasn't caused them a problem yet.

I actually encourage them to get the spiders as I am terrified of them!

It's aslo good because if a wasp or a bee has gotten in the house somehow, Bailey will let us know. He sits there acting strange and meowing and meowing over and over. Then we go and see and find a wasp (he wont go too near or touch them though, it's as if he knows they sting!). Cleo doesn't go as crazy as Bailey.

If one of Freddy's crickets escapes, Macy & Shadow love to play with them

Errrrrrm well I'm paranoid about flies with having 7 litter boxes about the house. As soon as one gets in I am there with the fly spray. Just will not tolerate seeing a single one of them indoors, grrrrr.

As for spiders, I am an arachnaphobiac (sp?) another blessing of having indoor cats, they do kill and dispose of a lot of these before I jump out of my skin with them. Only yesterday I filled one of the bathroom sinks with water to have a facial wash and there was a tarantula doing the backstroke in it, eeek I only noticed at the last minute and had to flush it down the plug hole. Just hope its mum doesnt come after me for revenge or owt like that

Ours chase, catch and eat spiders. The only thing that bothers me is the trail of destruction they leave behind them, plants and anything else on the windsill are all sent flying! They make a right mess!
