Snailed It Again, But Then...

Last week, I posted about feeding kibble to the snails on our deck; read it here.

This morning, I found a whole family of snails, and I put out sustenance for them:

"Eat up, little pals!"

 

Another member of the family,
crawling over to join in the feast!

 

"Huh?  Wait a minute...what?"

 

"Sorry, snails...mealtime was abruptly cut short!"

"Oh, Patty!"

The snail family was happily eating their kibble, until a VERY well-fed cat named Patty O'Malley decided that he didn't like the attention that I was bestowing on some critters other than himself, and he ATE THAT KIBBLE!

Snailed It!

You think I'm just in love with cats...and crickets!  Oh contraire, mon frere!  I also feed the snails in my yard.  I give them pieces of the 'O' Cats' kibble, and they slowly spin the kibble 'round and 'round as they snack on the edges.  I pick up worms that are laying on the sideway long after a rain, and drop them into the grass too, so they don't shrivel up and perish.  Crickets, snails and worms are living things, so I'll treat them as nicely as I can.

By the way, my office cricket count is now up to five!
