Okay, be honest, when you have a bug in your house, one of your first thoughts (right after AAH), is: "where my cat at?" Even if you don't have a cat! You still want to send a cat after it! We have all used our cats as bug shields. Don't judge. It's normal. And in our very well informed opinion as cat owners, we also think it's a good thing. Not having to mess with the bug for us, really entertaining 5-ish minutes for our cats.

Cats are fierce like that! Don't underestimate them. They may be itty bitty, but they do come from a line of predators. That's fact. The tiniest kitten in Africa has the highest kill-rate. Ain't no bug stands a chance against them. Just make sure they don't eat the ones they shouldn't eat, and everything will be absolutely purrfect.

How in the world did you make a story about a kitten pouncing on a bug heartwarming? Now, we can only see this itty bitty kitty running full speed into the room with the Superman theme song playing in a background, cape flapping behind it, capturing this moth mid-air and saving this person's wife. We're obsessed.

You know, we respect that actually. We would not want to touch the spider either, honestly. But we do appreciate the spider warning, having it there and not knowing about it is somehow worst than knowing it's there and having to smash it. So, thank you, cat.
