Mochi and His “Toys”

I read that cats like all kinds of insects bcos they fly, hop, move, zig zag, whatever. Mochi wasn’t interested in the ants. They were probably too boring for him. 

Bcos we live in an old unit, there are plenty of interesting other insects for Mochi. Occasionally, we found dead cockroaches. Ewwwkkkk.. At least I only need to pick those up and throw them. That day, there was a bee that flew in through the kitchen window when I was trying to hang laundry. In my panic state and Mochi super excited state, he sneaked into the kitchen where the window was left opened (to facilitate the bee’s exit) and I almost locked him there. Then, I had to “rescue” him and had the bee joined us in the living room. I eventually managed to grab Mochi and kept us both safe in the bedroom, much to Mochi’s displeasure, which he show, through his incessant meowing. 

One of the weekdays last week, Daddy Lim told me that Mochi was playing with a huge grasshopper that probably flew in through the kitchen window too.

No escape even when it tried to hide under the cabinet.

Mochi looked that he was enjoying himself. I had to google and found that grasshopper doesn’t bite, even if it is huge but the hard casing would cause indigestion in cats. I hope Mochi was not hungry. 

When I came out of our room, the grasshopper was nowhere to be found. Daddy Lim only found a leg. Poor grasshopper. 

Later in the day, Nana sent us this. The legless grasshopper.

Did it jumped on Nana? I think not. Mochi probably decided to take it out from somewhere to continue playing with it, even if it was very dead. 

I wonder what we would find the next time… my heart cannot. T.T
