Things That Scared Sora Today

[telophase]

Sora and Nefer chased a cockroach earlier. It got away by the time I got a shoe to smash it, and Sora is now freaked the fuck out. He's slinking around, eyes wide, staring at nothing, and jumping at the least little sound or movement. Well, moreso than usual. I figured that at least some of you would sympathize. :)

(The temperature hit the 90s and all of a sudden we started seeing roaches - only 4 so far, but that's 4 too many. I did some poking around and found that diatomaceous earth, like I want for the garden, does the same thing to roaches that it does to other bugs, AND that catnip is a proven roach repellant. XD We just need to simmer some of the Chronic Catnip in water to make a tea, then get a squeezy bottle and hit around the house. I think we can handle that.)

That's how I react to cockroaches!

If you actually find that roaches are repelled by dia-earth, lemme know. I'll want to publish a paper on the pussiest roaches in Texas.

It's not supposed to repel them, it's supposed to scratch up their carapaces so they DIE HORRIBLE SLOW DEATHS which I am all OK with.

My dog loves chasing and attempting to eat cockroaches...ew. But I sympathize with Sora.

You know, two of my three cats freak out about dark clothing laying on the bed or floor or whatever.
