Unhappy Cats Are Gross When They Eat Insects

My little alley cat friends have acquired a nasty habit of eating any bugs that come along. Flying bugs, crawling bugs, big or small, they will eat them.

I will be tossing them little kitty treats and so on, you know, the things cats are designed to be eating naturally in the wild, but, as soon as any kind of bug comes along they run off and gobble it up and it takes them a minute to remember that there was some guy throwing them kitty treats a minute ago. They go into a weird bug-eating trance! They forget I'm even there!

They don't even toy with the bug or bat it around like you will see a cat do sometimes. They just leap after the thing and crunch crunch crunch. When I think about the fact that a cat just swallowed a bug, it makes the cat less cute, and sort of gross, too.
