Keep an eye on your kitties

[Attilatheblond]

12. My cat LOVES crickets and alerts to any scorpion that makes it inside.

He has a special scorpion call to me, and will stay with the intruder, without getting too close, until I catch it and move it outside where it belongs.

With crickets, he munches happily then waits for the next one.

He does not go outside unless on his leash and with a human on the other end. I doubt he would jump the walls around the yard at his advanced age, but we have coyotes prancing down the sidewalks in broad daylight and LOTS of different birds of prey here. I take no chances with my sweet feline familiar.
