my cat ate a roach

[z0sa]

(Plus that's why I have cats lol)

[SpursStalker]

I get water bugs from time to time ... Missy plays with them until she gets tired then she kills them for mommy ...

[Fpoonsie]

You don't get roaches in your apartment?

Not in my current apartment; though, that's not to say that my apt isn't crappy.

The way you were talking, it seemed as if your place was infested, which may or may not have been what Blake was alluding to/I was laughing at.

Calm down...

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Anyone who has ever lived in Houston has had to deal with roaches. The whole city has a bug problem. I've learned to steer clear of the chemical pesticides precisely because our pets have a tendency to try to eat the ones that might cross their path. Jonah, our dog, plays with them almost like cat. He'll bat them around and pounce until he usually crushes them more by accident than design. Barney, our cat, is a little more ruthless. The only evidence I ever found of his encounter with one was a decapitated one a few feet from his litter box. Didn't look like he'd made any attempt to eat it, just cut the bas 's head off and left him lying there.

[z0sa]

Not in my current apartment; though, that's not to say that my apt isn't crappy.

How lucky. All of my friends and family have at least very minor pest problems; I thought everyone did to some degree I guess people who live in apt/homes where they spray religiously or pay for exterminators don't.

The way you were talking, it seemed as if your place was infested, which may or may not have been what Blake was alluding to/I was laughing at.

I'm confused then. What did I say to make it seem that way? Because I do have a small problem, but it's like a roach every other week and I had an ant problem at one point briefly. For such an old house and many years with no extermination whatsoever, that's actually really good IMO.

Calm down...

Um why? The Blake thing is ongoing because he clearly doesn't like me, and neither me him; I don't invade his threads with kindergarten smack though. So it is what it is.

[Fpoonsie]

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

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.

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..

All those words phrases might suggest that.

As far as the whole Blake thing goes, I wasn't aware. I just meant to calm down and not take offense just cause I laughed at something I didn't even concur with. I like the guy, but get the feeling that many on this board don't, so, as you said, "it is what it is".

[z0sa]

I'm suggesting a rate for his tendencies, not the actual amount of times he's doing it. I mean, he's not "always" eating roaches, but during the rare moments when he does, he "always" takes them to the tub. I guess I sound like I should calm down, but no one likes having their abode insulted - and without any justification IMO.

Then again, it is just dumbass Blake.

And thanks everyone for the comments - he's fine. I read online that a few people have actually claimed such things killed their cats, so I wanted some advice.

[The Gemini Method]

I used to have an Arrowana that loved to eat roaches. This thing was a fiend and would obliterate anything i dropped in its aquarium. It was a delicacy for that fish and it grew to be almost 2 1/2 feet in length before I gave it to a friend of mine. He's still living and on occasion, I will bring over a roach or two to feed it.

[JudynTX]

Cats have 9 lives.

[Blake]

Most often, I just discover a leg here or there when I'm cleaning the tub.

if that's most often, then that's crappy.

Ok Blake. Because of a roach being inside during the middle of a winter night, my place must be crappy.

no, because you have a can of roach killer ready to roll and you find roach parts most often when you are cleaning the tub

Um why? The Blake thing is ongoing because he clearly doesn't like me, and neither me him; I don't invade his threads with kindergarten smack though. So it is what it is.

Um I didn't realize there was on ongoing Blake thing.

I think your debating skills are weak, you obviously take things way too personal, and I could not care any less about you.

It is what is. hilarious.

If you don't want your abode insulted then don't start a thread in an open forum about how you find roach parts when cleaning the tub

Please do not calm down. The entertainment level is much greater when you get irate over me saying your apartment sounds crappy.

lol@the dumbest, most butthurt poster on this entire forum.

lol I said what, 7 words?

if I ever was the butthurt king, (which I never really was) then you clearly just stole the butthurt le from me in this thread alone

[Blake]

All those words phrases might suggest that.

yeah, my Team Blake tshirts weren't very big sellers this past holiday season.

[z0sa]

First and foremost, Blake's reading comprehension skills suck.

if that's most often, then that's crappy.

In the context I used it, that's when there's a sign he has gotten a roach at all. Not most oftentimes when I clean the tub, Blake.

no, because you have a can of roach killer ready to roll

Explain ready to roll. Because chances are, your stupid self has a can of insect killer in the same area as I do.

and you find roach parts most often when you are cleaning the tub

if there's a sign at all, blake, if there's a sign at all. It should be inferred from that sentence and my general at ude it doesn't happen much, and MOST OFTEN (focus Blake focus) the times I do detect him kill a roach it's from the tiny amount of leftovers - and its actually in the cleanest place it could be because I can quickly spray the tub out which was the point of even bringing that up, I think it's pretty in cool.

Um I didn't realize there was on ongoing Blake thing.

You can deny there is like you're above me or whatever, but that's clearly a lie and there's lost of posts backing that up. we have a past both debating and talking , you caring enough to talk some to me here is proof.

I think your debating skills are weak, you obviously take things way too personal, and I could not care any less about you.

That's a lie. If you could not care any less, you would not have responded. Even if you claim it's only entertainment for you (which it's really the opposite, as you have continuously started arguments with me in nearly every debate we have had which so many you have lost,) you have already contradicted your own logic.

It is what is. hilarious.

yes kindergarten smack talk about someone's house is hilarious.

If you don't want your abode insulted then don't start a thread in an open forum about how you find roach parts when cleaning the tub

So, let me ask you this Blake: others in this thread have said they find a much larger variety of creatures than just simple insects being dragged in by their cats and sometime even causing a mess. My cat, in contrast, eats a much smaller number of insects he finds whole and what leftovers remain, are in an area easily washed away. Are their abodes crappy too? Whose abode is 'crappier', in your opinion?

Do you have any pets, Blake? Don't be shy now.

Please do not calm down.

I'm calm, bro.

[mrsmaalox]

Cats have 9 lives.

Yea but what about the poor roaches??

[Fpoonsie]

yeah, my Team Blake tshirts weren't very big sellers this past holiday season.

I prolly wouldn't PAY for one, but wouldn't necessarily return it if it were gifted to me either.

[TheManFromAcme]

I dont like cats.
Dogs rule.

End of story......

[Blake]

In the context I used it, that's when there's a sign he has gotten a roach at all. Not most oftentimes when I clean the tub, Blake.

when you figure out you have had a roach in your place, most often you will find roach legs when you clean the tub. I get it

Explain ready to roll. Because chances are, your stupid self has a can of insect killer in the same area as I do.

You found a roach you couldn't reach and were able to grab your can of Raid before it got away. I'm not sure why you need an explanation of that.

Although I do not currently have an inspect spray specifically for roaches and keep all sprays/powders out in the shed, me having bug spray has nothing to do with you having roach spray ready to roll.

if there's a sign at all, blake, if there's a sign at all. It should be inferred from that sentence and my general at ude it doesn't happen much, and MOST OFTEN (focus Blake focus) the times I do detect him kill a roach it's from the tiny amount of leftovers - and its actually in the cleanest place it could be because I can quickly spray the tub out which was the point of even bringing that up, I think it's pretty in cool.

I figured you think it's pretty cool your cats eat roaches and leave body parts behind. After all, you started a whole thread about it and discussed it.

what does your girlfriend think of the cat eating roaches and leaving behind body parts by the tub?

You can deny there is like you're above me or whatever, but that's clearly a lie and there's lost of posts backing that up. we have a past both debating and talking , you caring enough to talk some to me here is proof.

Nah. There are no posts anywhere that would suggest I like or dislike you.

If anyone else had posted this thread, I would be saying the same things. I care enough to keep this going because it's honestly very entertaining.

That's a lie. If you could not care any less, you would not have responded. Even if you claim it's only entertainment for you (which it's really the opposite, as you have continuously started arguments with me in nearly every debate we have had which so many you have lost,) you have already contradicted your own logic.

No, it's the truth. I could not care any less about you personally. I don't even know you.

You are mistaking me responding to your posts as "dislike". That's pretty much the definition of butthurt.

yes kindergarten smack talk about someone's house is hilarious.

your response to the kindegarten smack talk about your apartment is even more hilarious.

So, let me ask you this Blake: others in this thread have said they find a much larger variety of creatures than just simple insects being dragged in by their cats and sometime even causing a mess. My cat, in contrast, eats a much smaller number of insects he finds whole and what leftovers remain, are in an area easily washed away. Are their abodes crappy too? Whose abode is 'crappier', in your opinion?

Do your cats drag in the roaches?

Do you have any pets, Blake? Don't be shy now.

No. Why would I be shy about admitting to having pets?

I'm calm, bro.

Are you still butthurt?

[DisAsTerBot]

[JudynTX]

Yea but what about the poor roaches??

What about 'em?

[z0sa]

I hope everyone is enjoying Blake's hateful re ation, I am . Oh, and everyone with mouser/insect eating cats or dogs, Blake thinks your house is crappy. He also denies having pets, probably because if he told the truth about them, he'd be on the hook for calling his own house crappy.

God bless Blake's entertainment value.

Going on:

when you figure out you have had a roach in your place, most often you will find roach legs when you clean the tub. I get it

RIF is the best I can say.

You found a roach you couldn't reach and were able to grab your can of Raid before it got away. I'm not sure why you need an explanation of that.

It didn't move for quite some time, actually. I'm enjoying this conversation, in fact, let me tell you the whole story since I enjoy talking about the cats and you obviously have nothing better to do.

Over a whole minute the roach stood there. My cats alerted me to his presence first. They were meowing up at him. I pushed my computer chair up, and my cat got on it; I hoped the cat would pounce but the ceilings are high. He continued meowing and looking like he wanted it bad, but he refused to make the jump. Finally, i moved to the kitchen closet and grabbed my Black Flag from the top shelf (my apartment doesn't have a shed). I moved back over the position of the roach, and still he had not moved. I moved the chair, scattering the cats, and aimed well before releasing a full nozzle blast of poison straight at it. It fluttered its spotted dark wings but stuck to the wall for a moment before falling. You know rest.

So, long story long, you're wrong.

Although I do not currently have an inspect spray specifically for roaches and keep all sprays/powders out in the shed, me having bug spray has nothing to do with you having roach spray ready to roll.

I asked you to define ready to roll. You didn't. How surprising. I bet at least 1 billion other people have bug spray in their house that they bust out for roaches and other pests, especially in the winter. Plus these local bugs aren't used to the cold man. What's so hard to understand?

I figured you think it's pretty cool your cats eat roaches and leave body parts behind. After all, you started a whole thread about it and discussed it.

No, I didn't start a thread about my cat eating roaches every now and then and leaving parts behind occasionally when he does, focus Blake focus. RIF. I mean seriously, I hope some people are watching how pathetic Blake's comprehension is right here.

Nah. There are no posts anywhere that would suggest I like or dislike you.

You're a troll oftentimes, everyone knows it. STFU

If anyone else had posted this thread, I would be saying the same things. I care enough to keep this going because it's honestly very entertaining.

It's entertaining for you why? I'm ing owning you by any count or measure on scoreboard.

1) the same logic you have for calling my house crappy would mean many who owns pets have a crappy house, including people who posted in this thread. Why won't you call them out on their supposedly crappy houses? Just more proof you dislike me.

2) the cat takes roaches to the bathtub, do you own one? Because I'm not sure you understand that spraying a few roach legs down is ing easy

3) OF COURSE you deny you have pets now, how predictable.

No, it's the truth. I could not care any less about you personally. I don't even know you.

lol you've had professional help blocking out all the times i figuratively assraped you huh? Well you're gonna need more help after today.

No. Why would I be shy about admitting to having pets?

Yeah, how convenient, if you said yes you'd be a humongous hypocrite.

I'm having fun, just like you Blake.

[bostonguy]

Zosa does your apartment have pest control? You use that, you will be seeing a roach every other 6 months or so if anything.

As for roaches...

I HATE those insects. They look very disgusting. I hate the way they move their antennas, I hate the way they scatter, etc etc. The big ones really gross me out the most.

[bostonguy]

Not in my current apartment; though, that's not to say that my apt isn't crappy.

The way you were talking, it seemed as if your place was infested, which may or may not have been what Blake was alluding to/I was laughing at.

Calm down...

What apartments do you live at in Denton? I have been to Denton numerous times. I have a few friends that are going to school their. I ask because the Ridge Apartments (Off loop 288 I believe) a buddy of mine I stayed at had a horrible roach infestation.

[z0sa]

Zosa does your apartment have pest control? You use that, you will be seeing a roach every other 6 months or so if anything.

Long story short, the owner says paying for an exterminator is on my end ridiculously because "the house itself is pretty damn old and so it's really not even worth it considering the amount of problem you have with them" (like I said, I only see 1-2 a month and less during the hotter months). Plus, I honestly don't mind the cats killing the few who make it into the house because it keeps them entertained and sharp (plus he takes them to the tub and eats them whole usually). I would want them to kill anything like that immediately, something like a spider that could actually hurt them or someone.

As for roaches...

I HATE those insects. They look very disgusting. I hate the way they move their antennas, I hate the way they scatter, etc etc. The big ones really gross me out the most.

Agreed

[Blake]

I hope everyone is enjoying Blake's hateful re ation, I am . Oh, and everyone with mouser/insect eating cats or dogs, Blake thinks your house is crappy. He also denies having pets, probably because if he told the truth about them, he'd be on the hook for calling his own house crappy.

God bless Blake's entertainment value.

No, you having roaches on what appears to be a semi regular basis makes your place crappy. It has nothing to do with pets.

It may be hard for you to understand, but I have a pest control service come out once every 3-4 months. I haven't seen a roach in my house in years.

If anyone else were to say they have roaches crawling on the ceilings and finding roach limbs next to their tub, I would say their place is crappy too.

God bless my entertainment value, which in the opinion of the only person that matters is top notch.

RIF is the best I can say.

Ok. You also say you find roach parts next to your bath tub and you are concerned about roaches falling from the ceiling.

How awesome for you.

It didn't move for quite some time, actually. I'm enjoying this conversation, in fact, let me tell you the whole story since I enjoy talking about the cats and you obviously have nothing better to do.

Over a whole minute the roach stood there. My cats alerted me to his presence first. They were meowing up at him.

It fluttered its spotted dark wings but stuck to the wall for a moment before falling. You know rest.

So, long story long, you're wrong.

In what way am I wrong? I'm not even trying to be right.

Short story, in my opinion your place has a pest control service that is awesome.

And by awesome, I mean crappy.

I asked you to define ready to roll. You didn't. How surprising. I bet at least 1 billion other people have bug spray in their house that they bust out for roaches and other pests, especially in the winter. Plus these local bugs aren't used to the cold man. What's so hard to understand?

I clearly defined ready to roll. You missed it. How surprising.

I bet a billion other people have bug spray in their house that they have ready to roll for roaches and other pests just like you do.

There are a lot of crappy places in the world.

No, I didn't start a thread about it, focus Blake focus. RIF. I mean seriously, I hope some people are watching how pathetic Blake's comprehension is right here.

Your name is at the top of this thread and you have described your roach situation to us.

Focus, zosa, focus.

You're a troll oftentimes, everyone knows it. STFU

I still don't really know what the definition of troll is. I think most people troll at one time or another whether they really mean to or not.

That aside, that has nothing to do with you providing proof that I like or dislike you personally.

I like the fact that your posts bring me entertainment.

It's entertaining for you why? I'm ing owning you by any count or measure on scoreboard.

you're the one living in a roachy place with cats. Not me.

Scoreboard:

Team Blake: 1
z0sa: 0

1) the same logic you have for calling my house crappy would mean many who owns pets have a crappy house, including people who posted in this thread

Many who own pets do have a crappy house, but I never stated my definition of crappy of being anything other than your conditions which exist of concern for roaches dropping from the ceiling and roach parts by the bath tub.

Team Blake: 2
z0sa: 0

2) the cat takes roaches to the bathtub, do you own one? Because I'm not sure you understand that spraying a few roach legs down is ing easy

Yes, I own a bathtub.

Spraying a few roach legs may be ing easy, but it still points to the fact you have roaches which in turn leads to the crappy situation.

Team Blake: 3
z0sa -1

3) OF COURSE you deny you have pets now, how predictable.

Predictability aside, unless you can prove otherwise, then no, I do not own one single pet.

Team Blake: 4
z0sa: -2

lol you've had professional help blocking out all the times i figuratively assraped you huh? Well you're gonna need more help after today.

OF COURSE I deny I have had professional help blocking out all of the phantom times you figuratively assraped me.

You cannot provide proof of such an assraping and you are a liar for claiming such. Lies mean extra negative points.

Team Blake: 4
z0sa: -5

Yeah, how convenient, if you said yes you'd be a humongous hypocrite.

No because even if I had pets, I would still have pest control to make sure I don't have roach parts in my bathtub.

Team Blake: 5
z0sa: -5

I'm having fun, just like you Blake.

doubtful, but I can't prove that someone isn't having fun getting owned and lying about himself winning on an imaginary scorecard.

At least you're using foul language in a calm manner.

[Bukefal]

Why are you spraying poison on the roach when he is just sitting there in front of you? Why dont slap once with a newspaper or something different and its over, then your cat would not have eaten the poison also.

[Fpoonsie]

What apartments do you live at in Denton? I have been to Denton numerous times. I have a few friends that are going to school their. I ask because the Ridge Apartments (Off loop 288 I believe) a buddy of mine I stayed at had a horrible roach infestation.

I know the apts you're talkin about. Funnily enough, I live at these run-down, cheap-ass apts off of Eagle and Bernard, couple blocks away from campus.

I honestly have NO IDEA how I haven't had any kind of insect problem thus far. [knock knock knock]
