Then the hunting party turned into a knocking everything on the floor party and a good time was had by all.

Fellowship of the moth
I wish the white one was in the middle because the two black ones look confused as to why the white one isn't in oreo formation as previously discussed.
Moths are such an interesting analogy for modern life:
In order to thrive during nighttime and avoid daylight predators, they have evolved a complex guidance sense based on stars and moonlight.
Then we invent artificial lights and fuck up 190 millions of years of evolution.
"Haha dumb bug is hitting the light."
How often do I feel like a moth.
I feel like the most obvious example of this is the array of things we need to apply self-discipline to, to succeed. Things like: eating healthy, limiting screen time, avoiding (over-indulgence in) intoxicants, keeping up with chores and assignments at work or school, not getting bogged down by the state of the world, being patient with others, and so on… Then people who smoke a pack a day judge others for being obese, or vice versa (pun intended) and it’s a whole mess.
Your weave depressing but eloquent poetry, my friend.
I love that language. I'm going to borrow it for my little hunters, of whom I am incredibly proud for their skill.
I can hear the ekekeks from here!
Then a sudden crash and scurrying. Only to find everything on the counter knocked over and on the floor.
With only the moth left in the vicinity of the crime you should assume it acted alone in this horrendous act of vandalism.
Mine jumps at the keys in the door when he gets the zoomies. Apparently he reaches the higher lock, that's where I have a small mascot dangling and I found it on the floor a couple of times already.
Huh, I've never met a cat that ekekekees at bugs, they only do it when watching birds they clearly have no way of catching. Otherwise they just meow at the thing like it's your fault it's flying on the ceiling.
my cat doesn’t meow at things he intends to kill and he also doesn’t understand that he can’t fly.
it gets wild in the basement when a fly gets in, just a stupid cat blur that may or may not slam full speed into any object and roughly chest height.
there are grunts. so much grunting.
The only time my cat goes ekekek is when there's a fly in the apartment.
They ekekekek if they want to hunt or to grab your attention / attention of other cats for the hunt. I run around with a bug zapper paddle and hunt with my cat. I see a moth, I ekekek at him and he comes in running, grabs the thing and eats it. Sometimes he ekekeks at me and I grab the paddle and launch a serve at a fly. Gets him off my back for playtime, since playtime is basically simulating a hunt, and he goes to eat and sleep shortly after.
Why do the black cats look so derpy? 😂
Practice?
They are the embodiment of the saying "my last two brain cells".
"what are we doing again?"
Because you are not able to see their whole face on camera. If you zoom and oar attention they also have a normal face.
because they be cats?
White cat (codename Fluffy_Lamp) is the bait while the black cats (codenames Velvet_Ninja_Assassin & Fuzzy_Moth_Liquidator) are the unseen executioners.
Bugs don't stand a chance in my house. I've literally just started wishing them luck and finding their corpse in the morning, she's undefeated.
That’s impressive. I try to get my cat to hunt flies but she just gives me the dumbest look.
I mean it was clearly attracted by the shower curtain. This will not be the last hunt.
"Forth the Three Hunters!"
you get that valentino, husk. :3
