Mr. Cheddar: Kinda,Sorta...Back on Bug Patrol!

                               

Is that a speck of dirt Meowmie or a BUG???

We've had a few warm days here recently and with it, the appearance of the first bugs/insects of spring.

It should be the time for Mr. Cheddar to spring into action and be on "bug patrol" . The reality the other night, was far from it.

It is a BUG!  Yikes....a big, big bug!!!!

That's better.

 Stay on that side of the bar and we'll get along just fine, OK?

Oh Meowmie, I am not hiding behind my Cat Cave.

I'm just looking for something. Go away with that camera!

***

And that is exactly what happened.

The bug made a jump and Chedster did too. Right behind his Cat Cave, where he stayed until the bug disappeared. Amazing but true. LOL

As any of Mr. Cheddar's fans already know, he like to be considered strong and capable, especially in terms of his bug-catching abilities. But when it comes to BIG BUGS (click to check out some history on that subject) well....let's just say, some things never change.

We love ya Cheddie, even if you are afraid of bugs.

I wouldn't want to eat them either. ;<)

PS: Sorry for the blur...Camera shake unavoidable when it comes to capturing Ched and bug photos!!!

Mr. Cheddar's Got a Secret!

                           

                     

Mr. Ched, just a chillin....

                 

Mr. Big Bug!

                       

                          

Mr. Big Bug under cover!

                                                      

Too Big for Me Meowmie. Pleaaaasee...Make Him Go Away!

                                       

Although he may appear to be the strong, silent type, in reality, Mr. Cheddar is kind of a wimp when it comes to bigger (ie: more than 1/2 inch long)  bugs!

He jumps back out of their way, when they jump or move LOL, Tooooo funny.

So there's Ched's secret "bug-o-phobia " revealed.

                             

When it came to fearless though, here's another story....

My dear little Mitzi (click to see a beautiful photo tribute).

Many of you will probably remember Mitzi from my other blogs. She was such a tiny, delicate, little cat but in spite of that she loved to  go and get big, UGLY grasshoppers out in the yard and either bring them to the back door as a "gift" or munch them with relish (yuuuuuuck!) I still remember the sound of that crunching!!!!

BTW, I did check with our excellent vet about bug-eating for cats. Apparently in moderation of course, it's ok! With Mr. Cheddar, no worries!

Here's another "pose".
                             

I wish I was that flexible!!!!

Have a wonderful day, from me and the Ched!
