time to adopt a new one
that was seriously dosed down with some black flag. Like I sprayed the on my wall for at least 5 seconds from less than 3 feet away. Anyone else ever have their cat get sick from this?
The roach fell yet escaped across the carpet when I sprayed and within 30 seconds was climbing the wall again and hid behind my windowshades. Those are right behind the couch where I'm about to watch the Spurs and that wasn't gonna work, so I tried to lift the blind and get it while it was on the window but I was afraid of breaking it because of my angle due to the couch. It's now been about 1 minute only, and the cats are excited around my position. I managed to knock it off again with my hand-boot but my mouser/roacher catches him literally mid air and runs to the bathtub with it (standard issue for he and critter control) before I can do anything except nearly trip and fall. Before I even have a chance to get to the bathroom, bug has been eaten except for a couple spindly legs scattered. And that bug was damn soaked in some black flag.

Oh, you mean an insect......
i thought you forgot to empty the ashtray after
mouse visited......
I like to break situations like this down into a list of possibilities.
1. Your cat dies.
2. Your cat throws up and/or goes to the bathroom on your carpet.
3. Nothing happens.
There are other ways to kill a roach (and not make a mess).
If it happened more than an hour ago and nothing has happened to your cat, it's likely nothing will happen. Watch for vomitting and/or diarrhea.
Well, nothing has happened so far. Which is surprising, because that roach was like, white with black flag spray. It's wings were dripping.
You can probably rule out #1. Luckily it's called roach-killer, and not cat-killer.
I'd keep an eye out for #2 though.
But that's just, like...general life advice.
Yeah I'm watching him. LOL my cat is actually the best roach killer, and he always takes them to the tub to play with. They always try to climb out or cross to the drain and never escape. Usually he doesn't eat them so fast but I think he knew something was up and that meant he should down it quickly lol
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat??? You never mentioned this in "chat"!!! WTF????????
lol Spurs were pissing me off too much. He's fine I think. He has been playing, and I gave him some treats which he gobbled down. He has drank a lot of water but nothing too unusual.
Cats are awesome pets.
Do your cats go outside? If so they probably eat much more toxic stuff than the BlackFlag. My cats are free to go outside, but basically they go out about an hour each night----for a midnight snack of course. They like lizards, moths, grubs, but recently brought in a delicious snake. Then last week they brought in a dove, and the feathers were everywhere
By themselves? no. I'm a little defensive over my cats - about 3 years ago my previous kitty disappeared about the billionth time I let him out. I searched every morning and evening, put up fliers and knocked doors for 5-6 blocks around here for weeks. No sign of him ever again sadly. So these kitties are pretty much housecats only lol.
Do you have a big yard or do they just venture wherever? I know that cats will easily get past most fences but I'm curious.If so they probably eat much more toxic stuff than the BlackFlag.

I just have a regular fenced yard. I also have 2 dogs so I have a doggy door, and as much as I tried to keep it a secret from the cats, they are just too smart. But yes they go out for about an hour per night. I've had them since August and they have never left the yard, or at least I have never seen them out front.
WTF?? +1 thread
I hear you. After having to scrape a dead cat off the road along with its left eye ball its 100% collar on and indoor time.
By the way sprays aren't too good at killing and they can stain/smell/drip and such. A shoe or broom is cheap and effective. Plus your cat can eat the corpse without violent diarrhea.
No yard will keep a cat in. They always find a way out, you just haven't seen it yet
Yeah sadly. You love your pets and its too easy for them to get hurt or lost close to home yet never be found again.
I usually do just that, the times I see a roach. Most often, I just discover a leg here or there when I'm cleaning the tub.By the way sprays aren't too good at killing and they can stain/smell/drip and such. A shoe or broom is cheap and effective.

But this roach was near the roof in a corner by the door, too high for the kitties and a little too high for me -- don't want a roach falling on my head or getting in my clothes or something..
your place sounds awesome to live in.Yeah sadly. You love your pets and its too easy for them to get hurt or lost close to home yet never be found again.

by awesome, I mean crappy.
I don't necessarily agree...but I
Ok Blake. Because of a roach being inside during the middle of a winter night, my place must be crappy.
lol@the dumbest, most butthurt poster on this entire forum.
You don't get roaches in your apartment?I don't necessarily agree...but I
Only thing we get here are water bugs that sometimes come in from the soil in the back yard. My cat likes to play with them as well.
I consider them the same. I live in a 75 year old duplex plus I keep the windows and door open a lot, so pests do find entry occassionally especially considering its winter. If that makes my pad crappy to someone, so be it.
