All of our cats are indoor cats. All of them lust after the moths they see outside the window at the porch light. Therefore .... I catch moths for them.

We bought a butterfly net and it normally rests in a corner. Whenever we notice a fat moth while coming in through the door, I grab the net. The very act of grabbing that net causes all four cats to start going bazonga. Running in circles, howling, jockeying for position against each other - it's incredible to watch. And when I come back in with the moth caught in the net, they start leaping and trying to rip the net out of my hand.

So, I put the net close to the floor, shake it upside down, and get the hell out of the way as the cat circus begins. Airborne cats. Eventually one of them (usually Baxter) will finally trap the thing and eat it while the others look at me as if to say, "What are you waiting for? ANOTHER!"

I expect a visit from PETA any day now about our moth torture.
