Pet cat touches with its paw the pet cockroach
This is Georgie (Cat) and Buzz (Bug.) Buzz is the grandfather of my Madagascar hissing cockroach colony and Georgie is my housemate’s cat. When I moved in we were extremely careful to make sure my room’s door remained closed so Georgie wouldn’t get in there and harm the bugs. One day he managed to find a way to open the door while I was out and got in. To my complete and utter shock I came home to find him on a shelf next to the cage just looking in curiously. We felt a lot more comfortable letting him be around the bugs and eventually realized he was just interested in them. He had no desire to harm them! So I officially introduced him and Buzz, and the two have been buds ever since. I think it’s interesting that this cat has somehow managed to abandon his hunting instincts in order to tolerate something that would otherwise be seen as prey.
