Last night even though I was really tired, I tossed and turned a bit before falling asleep because I thought I might’ve forgotten to feed Terra. This morning, she started whining at about 5:45am and I basically shot out of bed, still full of guilt at the thought that she might be hungry.
Turns out my husband had fed her, so her bowl was basically overflowing. But then I heard a little buzzing over by the window, and it made sense — Terra was whining at a fly.
The first time she saw a fly in the house, she basically just pawed at it (super-fast!) and smashed it against the window on her first try. Then before I could even say “Wow!” she stuck it in her mouth and ate it.
Gross, but I have to admit, impressive.
Even with this bug (which, by the way, was outside), Terra kept leaping up to see just how close she could get (the answer: much closer than I expected — but she still couldn’t jump through glass …).
Well, I guess I’m glad she can still hunt down her own sustenance even if I forget to feed her.
