what about grasshoppers. If they are protected, we're in a world of trouble. I had left the door ajar to the back porch this morning,while we drink our morning cup of coffee. Minnie and Lucky have so much fun running in and out and all around the porches,I couldn't bring myself to shut the door too soon.I got busy with my morning ritual of this and that, and forgot the door. The next thing I knew, Minnie had a new playmate. I don't think she wanted to eat him, as much as she wanted to play with him. It was so cute watching her catch and release him, just so she could chase him again, I never give it a thought as to how the poor grasshopper might feel.I guess it could have been worse. Minnie could have eaten him.I never thought they would be that tasty, since I remember as a child, that they would eat big holes in our tobacco crop. I remember them spitting the tobacco juice on us. I just figured from that point on that all grasshoppers spit tobacco, but then I guess it has to do with what they eat. Hopefully,Minnie will tire of his company, before she gets that hungry.
cats are cute when they play, i wish lowey had some personality but she just squauks for food.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to move and let my cats play outside. I know they'll have some great adventures, and more than likely bring some presents home to Mama.
ReplyDeleteMy Jack Russell loves to catch grasshoppers in her mouth and then run around with them. She usually lets them go, while they are still living.
ReplyDeleteI love watching a cat play with a bug like this, however, I've never though of it from the bug's view. Perhaps he/she should have been more careful?
ReplyDeleteHi sawn - I checked out that site at Etsy - did I read that right, and it was $13 for just 3 jars, plus $10 shipping? Wow! I did get a really good price! I did some checking on eBay, and most to all of the old jars go for a lot more than $1.00 each - that is maybe the lowest that the bidding is started at. I sure love these jars, and they have such history. The lady I got them from, I think is probably in her 50s, and she got all of the jars from her Mom. I don't know if it's possible, but it seems the the lettering has almost worn off on some of them, it doesn't have the raised texture of some of the others. I'm just thrilled to have been able to find them. Thanks for your comments, and thanks for the link. Take care, from Fayette Co KY.
