気怠い一日

Eat, sleep, groom, looking out the window, catching bugs around the house - that's what they do every day while we are at work. And that's what I do, too, on weekends.

Having bugs around the house is rather common when you live in the suburb surrounded by trees and shrubs. The most common bugs we have around the house are the skinny spiders. The cats are great catching or alerting you there is a spider somewhere. We always capture it using a glass bottle and then dump it down the toilet. Never try to crush a bug as I was told you never know if it's a female with lots of ready-to-hatch-little-ones inside or not.

Also one time, we had a squirrel (or was it a small cat?) that found its way into our attic through some opening somewhere. It was Bagel who jumped on the top of our old tube TV and started meowing at the ceiling that we figured out we had a visitor. The opening from the outside to the attic was then located and fixed. Cats might not be useful guarding the house but they do help around the house in their own ways. :-)
