Very fast reflexes. <br /><br />Jen, whoa, slugs? That would be too disgusting for words. :D I'd assumed maybe cats were drawn to bugs for how fast they moved. But if your cats like slugs, it must be a taste/protein thing.

As far as I know nearly all cats will eat a bug if it gets near enough for them to catch it!Jenrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492693697232134724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937658685163119346.post-50974068515533043892013-03-11T08:25:53.539-06:002013-03-11T08:25:53.539-06:00My cat eats bugs.

My cat would sit on the floor and look up at the ants flying around, then she'd jump up and catch one between her two front paws, and then she'd eat it. It was one of the strangest things I'd ever see a cat do. (My current place is mostly pest-free, though every now and then I'll see her catch a bug and eat it. She typically kind of just slaps it onto the floor and then licks her paw. I suspect that she'd be a great mouser if I ever lived somewhere with mice. Funnily enough, she is TERRIFIED of the outside.)Kate McMurrayhttp://www.katemcmurray.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937658685163119346.post-38332604626635225642013-03-11T05:43:39.659-06:002013-03-11T05:43:39.659-06:00Oh yes, cats are great bug eaters.
