I constantly warn my moving obstacles that causing Meowmy to fall down and kill herself will result in a massively reduced quality of life for them going forward. The lack of concern for this point is stunning.
Just this weekend my hubs and I loaded a case of canned food into the Infinite Cupboard of Foods and realized we only had one case left in storage. I immediately sat down and ordered two more cases because CATS!!! I really don’t want to wake up one morning to find I’m the main course because supplies got too low!
When I kept a snake, it was a very polite water snake who would happily eat thawed smelt from the grocery store and never had to be given live (or recently live) meals. I couldn’t do the live meal thing.
Some years back my husband I made a trip to Austin, TX to see the colony of Mexican Free-Tailed bats living under the Congress Ave. Bridge. It was a wonderful experience to see them all come out in a huge cloud in the evening to go hunt bugs. From what I understand, the local residents are very fond and protective of that colony and I totally understand. We sat out on the riverbank for two hours and didn’t even see a single mosquito—doing that in FL would get you eaten alive! We even saw a rescue mission when a couple of guys from the nearby Omni hotel came out with a bat in a pool sweep—apparently it got into the hotel by accident, so they netted it and brought it back out and released it to return to the colony. Bats are awesome!!!
