I do this with my dog too

I did this once when I was a kid. Saw a bug, grabbed my hunter cat and hoisted him up, expecting him to swat at it. Oh he smashed it, and then brought it to his mouth and started chomping. I had no idea to expect this and was so grossed out that I dropped him (sorry kitty — he was totally fine, if a little disgruntled).

Now my cats are pampered princesses with no huntress instinct whatsoever so I’ve resorted to a fly swatter.

I have one hunter and one spoiled asshole. The spoiled asshole would just toy with insects. He would see a spider and just put his paw on it and watch it try to run. And then when he’s bored of it he will just leave it to die.

Watch over me, ceiling cat.
