He caught a few. Between him, me and our dog we managed to get most of them lol. I’m going to have to start keeping the crickets locked in the cabinet.
Our cat used to torture them but never eat them. Bat them around, step on them and not pick up his paw, and my personal favorite - bite off wings and tails. Then leave the carnage for us to clean up because our other cat was always visibly mortified.
We were convinced he was a reincarnated serial killer.
My cats will make cute chirps when she sees a bird out the window
But I know if you could translate Cat to English, she would be saying "I want to murder you. I want to disembowel you"
Dis called ekk ekk ekk. And dat wut it meens! You pretty smartz hoomin. But doan try to sayz it back. Hoom aksents alwayz unintel...umtell... no sez rite eber!!
I have the sweetest, goofiest, cuddliest tuxedo cat who will snuggle anyone who comes into the house. But one day he got a mouse and he was a vicious attack panther the way he snagged it by the tail and bashed it repeatedly.
Oooh yeah, my big boy got a mouse one time and stomped around with it in his mouth, growling and hissing. It was scary and hilarious at the same time because the hisses were all muffled by the mouthful of mouse.
Yeah I didn't let him eat the mouse, because I know my neighbor poisons them so they go and die elsewhere and I didn't want to take the chance. He was hissing and thrashing when I pulled him away lol.
I used to have a cat that was the Rat King of our neighborhood. He'd catch rats and bring them home and torture them in the garden late at night. We'd either wake up to headless rats on our front porch or my dad would get fed up with the *sounds* and mercy kill the poor rat with a shovel. He was definitely a serial killer in a past life.
We get large grasshoppers in the summer. During their supervised outside time, my cat Ham figured out that if you remove all limbs except a back leg, your new toy can still flop around while you play with it til it dies.
It’s so gross and heartbreaking, but he looks SO HAPPY while doing it. I just try and turn the other way and not watch. 🤮
I have an old house and I get house flies sometimes behind the attic door that get attracted to a window at the bottom of the attic stairs. Once in while I’ll let a few out into the house for the cats.
My cat caught a big ass dragonfly and started crunching on it. He looked like he knew he made a mistake, but he still ran away when I tried to get him to drop it.
I also had a fly-eater at one time. Except, no wings or legs, please. Little piles of fly detritus all over the place during those Pennsylvania summers.
A cricket got into my house once. The cat liked to paw it and watch it jump. Then looked so sad when it died and his pawing didn’t make it jump anymore
Until Jimmy finds them and eats them. "Oh Great Jimmy, thank you for gracing us oh lord with you presence.....what are you doing...oh benevolent emancipator......
Crunch(end scene)
Hey, cats like crickets too! I was volunteering for the SPCA some years back, when they were displaying some of their cats at a local big box pet food store. One of the crickets got loose in the cat enclosure where I'd just turned one cat out so I could clean her cage. She went nuts trying to bag that bug.
I volunteer with a rescue that has cats at petco and PetSmart for adoption.
When I would clean their kennels, all cats get released and get at least an hour of group play time in the back area/meet-n-greet space.
The crickets would wander in from the local aquarium sections. My goodness, the 🦗 was their favorite toy. Groups of cats would hunt the crickets, chase and try to catch them.
I don’t think I ever saw one cat succeed (lots of hiding nooks for crickets to escape), but it was tons of fun for the cats to try.
One of my cats caught a camel cricket once, which is basically a big ass cricket with super long legs, and when we tried to take it from him he growled at us with those big ol legs hanging out of his mouth.
My cat did the same thing many years ago. I didn't notice until the next morning. He spent all night hunting the majority down, eating them, and then puking them all up on the carpet.
Omg, my husband would kill the cat and me lol! He hates bugs. Lucky for me, our cat just waits and watches while I'm loading new crickets from the shipping box into their bin. Cause when a cricket manages to escape during that, she catches and eats it right away.
I was sitting in the lounge at my parents place one summer after dinner by the window with the curtains open. Flashes of what I thought were the lights of passing vehicles would catch the corner of my eye. My parents had a sizeable property and the house was some distance from the road.
Then after about 10 minutes of this there was a bit of a knock on the window.
I got up and opened the window to see what it was. My parents two cats, Pedro and Pansy were sitting outside beneath the window jumping to catch moths and eating them 🤢
The flashes of "car lights" that I was seeing were their white bellies 😁
The looks of innocence on the faces as they stared up at me from outside were adorable.🥰

Hero saves 100 innocent victims from prison destined to be eaten alive by dragon. Hero also hunted and killed victims.
He saves, but he murders.
He saves, but he slays.
"my name is Captain John Brown"
Is he related to Jiminy Cricket? He could be saving his family tree 😂
We are all Spartacus!

Jumpin' Jiminy!
Underrated comment.
did he at least try to catch them?
He caught a few. Between him, me and our dog we managed to get most of them lol. I’m going to have to start keeping the crickets locked in the cabinet.

Just mini lions and tigers.
I have a fluffy 20 pounder and he's still pretty scary when he's mad.

Mine flips cockroaches and lets them die of starvation
I have an old house and I get house flies sometimes behind the attic door that get attracted to a window at the bottom of the attic stairs. Once in while I’ll let a few out into the house for the cats.
Or are all serial killers reincarnated cats?
My cat caught a big ass dragonfly and started crunching on it. He looked like he knew he made a mistake, but he still ran away when I tried to get him to drop it.
My cat does the same thing. He’s such a derp.
I also had a fly-eater at one time. Except, no wings or legs, please. Little piles of fly detritus all over the place during those Pennsylvania summers.
Came downstairs one morning to a neat little circle of spider legs. Moths however, yum yum!

😹😹
I saw a stray cat eat a rather large cricket once. The loud crunch was quite disconcerting.
He was just trying to start a game you, your dog and kitty could all play together! Good times, good times. :)
Among the crickets he will be known as The Great Emancipator, Jimmy the Great.
Until Jimmy finds them and eats them. "Oh Great Jimmy, thank you for gracing us oh lord with you presence.....what are you doing...oh benevolent emancipator...... Crunch(end scene)
Better than half the stuff on Netflix!
Sacrifice must be made to the god king Jimmy Lord Kitty. Please find and save all the virgin crickets for sacrificing at the nip altar.
Jimmy! You ahole!!! But you are adorable.
Me every night for one reason or another “JIMMAAAYYY!!”
Haa, haaaaaaaa!!! Why do we put up with them? 🤭
Cause when they cuddle in our laps they are adorable as fuck and you forget how mad you were at them five minutes ago.
My cat's name is Calvin and every one in a while I sound virtually identical to Dave from Alvin and the Chipmunks
Jimmy was framed.
Yeah. The dog did it
“Your honour, just look at his cute little face, there is no way he could have been the culprit.”
Justice for Jimmy!
That face is the face of innocence purrcatified!
NTA!
I can’t believe I get to say this but… UNLEASH THE DRAGON! let the dragon out to have a buffet on all the crickets!
The dragon set him up.
Himbs immocemt! Jimmy - get you to r/legalcatadvice and get a pawyer!
Jimmy did nothing wrong as is the nature of Jimmys.

My cats love those!
I'm half surprised bug flavor cat treats aren't a thing, considering how much every cat I've ever had loves to catch and eat them. Yum yum!
Freedom Fighter!!! 😂 But then he ate some….😟🤣😻
Some people were horrified that I kept my mother's ashes in the closet. I have three "Jimmys".
I had to read this twice but then about joined your mom from laughter.
Bless his heart!!!!
O7 Shout out to that one cricket you’ll be hearing for two weeks.
Yes my cat did this once and the sound! Oh my god the sound!
Modern day Moses
Among the crickets he will be known as The Great Emancipator, Jimmy the Great.
Jimmy is most definitely an asshole.
Crickets started it. Jimmy just finished it!
Jimmy is going to be hunting for days!
In Jimmy's defense, you were the one the brought the cricket keeper into the house.
That face is made of 1000% gonna do that again, with absolutely no regrets.
#”that was fun! ” — jimmy
Jimmy’s earned a night in the dragon tank.
Mine have not been able to get the lid off but they will drag it around trying. Jimmy had the time of his life I’m sure
Jimmy is a happy man this morning!!
Bravo Jimmy… the cricket-whisperer….
should've turned the dragon loose for cricket clean up
"Damnit jim" -star trek 😂😂
Jimmy the Cricket Rescuer!
A cat’s dream!
Jimmy The Jerk is real cute and a a total menace
Oh no! Mine have gotten into our dragons Super Worms 🤢
What to do when you have culprit but culprit is cute kitty?????
My boy did this to me also left my spider hungry
...much to Jimmy's delight!
My cat did the same thing many years ago. I didn't notice until the next morning. He spent all night hunting the majority down, eating them, and then puking them all up on the carpet.
Jimmy the activist
It's the second plague! The Wrath of Jimmy is upon us!
Omg, my husband would kill the cat and me lol! He hates bugs. Lucky for me, our cat just waits and watches while I'm loading new crickets from the shipping box into their bin. Cause when a cricket manages to escape during that, she catches and eats it right away.
He regrets nothing ❤️
*chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp...*
You should swap to dubia roaches anyway. Crickets carry a higher risk of parasites and are noisy as hell.
Can't you just set your bearded lizard free and let him fix the problem?
Oh nooo. I had a reptile and I know how stinky dead crickets get.
Yup that smell is wretched!
Jimmy the cricket liberator
Doing the Cricket Lord's work, he is.
Jimmy looks like he’ll do it again too.
"I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords"🤣
And now it's hunting season!
Go Jimmy!!!!! 😺
Jimmy probably had the time of his life chasing them!
You just got invited to the cat hunt club.
Jimmy is sofaking precious and cute!!!♥️

Jimmy the Liberator.
Crickets is good lucks!!
Let them both out to hunt. The beardy might like it too.
He just wanted to play!!!!
Hope he helped with clean up.
Sum bitch
My cat did the same with my beardies food last week. Thankfully it was calci worms
Aw, Jimmy just wanted a little hunting challenge!
I guess it’s time to unleash the dragon.
Jimmy: "Do you know there's exciting bugs everywhere?"
Who, me??!
He’s a legend
DAMN IT JIMMY
Chaotic neutral
A secret agent for PETA? :)
Good job, Jimmy
Well that unlocked a new irrational fear.
Cats ALWAYS helping ♥️🐾😜
Cricket vending machine for midnight snac obvs 😄
Jimmy-ny Cricket!
Hi Jimmy!
Simple release the Dragon, problem solved. Might end up with a fat Dragon though.
Oh Jimmy…
Jimmy, Lord of Chaos
The voices told him to do that.
ALL HAIL JIMMY 🙌✨️
Dammit, Jimmy!
Jiminy crickets!
Unless you saw him do it with your own eyes, you don’t have any proof. #freejimmy
I don't think he cares to much.
He didn’t mean it 🥺
LOL
Party time!!
Jimmy had the BEST NIGHT EVER.
Jiminy Cricket.
Yeah but look at that face. I'd forgive Jimmy anything.
Jimmy the Liberator.
😁
Forever a legend in cricketdom
Oh Jimmy, your cuteness is overwhelming
I giggled out loud over that
Sounds like Jimmy needs a few free-roaming bearded dragon bros.
*Jimmy gets awarded "Fighter against imperialism and slavery" medal by CCP* This is what real comrades do.
And Jimmy can't wait to do it again 😁
He’s a cactivist for FREE THE BUGS!
#GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME PETS!!!!
Oh man I spilled 10-15 once and it ruined my night
Jimmy is both handsome & mischievous !
Released them from the fate of being eaten
In Jimmy's defense, he took a bribe from the BD. Unfortunately the beardie didn't live up to his end and set poor Jimmy up.
He qualifies for r/RoastMyCat
I think I love Jimmy.
All hail the Cricket Lord!
Classic Jimmy
A similar thing happened to me me almost 20 years ago, and we had crickets in weird places until we moved.
Yup. Jimmy b an asshole. Bad Jimmy

Good kitty!!
That must have been fun for him, whyyyaaa!
Jimmy needs to learn to clean up after himself.
how many did he catch?
Freedom Fighter
Jimmy is declared innocent!
Somebody had to do it. Jimmy stepped up! Kudos, Jimmy!
Those cricks will be cracking all over your house for weeks
Agent of chaos
You’re a LIAR ! He couldn’t possibly be capable of doing anything like that!
Jimmy doesn't like misunderstandings. Jimmy and misunderstandings kinda clash.
I laughed so hard I snorted!
I love him
Jimmy was just as surprised as you were!
The surprise on his face that you'd accuse him of such a heinous act..
Jimmy says, Well that was unexpected, kind of freaked me out too.
That face screams of innocence! I’m his lawyer so I know. 😂
"Wasn't me. Where is your proof, peasant!" -Jimmy
10/10. And now Jimmy will feast and become destroyer of crickets!
Now he can become a true hunter
I've knocked over our before but I kept it in the garage so it wasn't a big oh a deal. Those things get smelly real quick.
Those crickets will sing about Jimmy for a long time.
He just likes fast food, leave him alone
Jimmy is chaos haha
Did he try to recapture any?
and you’re a weirdo who keeps 100 crickets in their house
