Me: Dougy, you have a reputation for prowess, a cat-like uncanny ability to catch what you seek. I’ve seen you hide in wait for the pole toy critter to swing by, and there is no doubt you take your cat responsibilities seriously: You nail it, and chew that toy to pieces if given a chance!
…his prowess
Dougy: Yes, I believe in exercising my canines to the maximum possible. They are my best tools, along with my razor-sharp reflexes and Claws of Doom! (You know about those from personal experience. Rawr!)
[Me: And how!]
Me: Speaking of experience, Dougy, what do you do to keep fit and fat for hunting?
training aids work
Dougy: You know the answer to that! I make you play with me with pole toys until your fingers go numb! I never get tired!
“Yeah! We played with that one just this morning! You know both Andy and I love, love, love this pole toy bug,” says Dougy
Me: What prey can an indoor cat hope to catch?
Dougy: WHAT!? Haven’t you seen how my brother Andy and I take on crickets, spiders, flies, millers, wasps, and anything else that sneaks into the house? It isn’t just me who should be interviewed here, you know.
a likely prospect
Me: Well, that’s for sure, but Andy is scarce at the moment. You know how he is after I give him his medicine…!
Dougy: Oh, yeah…!
“Thank you for your efforts!”
Me: Come to think of it, the other day, in the bathroom, I saw you in action. It was quite remarkable. The fly walked toward you. You were still as a rock — well, except your tail, which twitched just a bit! The fly was oblivious to you. It slowly moved into range. Your right paw struck down on it so fast I couldn’t tell if you trapped the fly. You patticaked it a bit to stun or kill it, then raised your paw for a closer look. It stumbled around on six legs, but not for long: you chewed it up! How’d it taste?
Dougy: A bit crunchy, a hint of nuttiness, followed with a hint of bitterness. In short, quite good!
I love this kind of Interviews! Would like to read more of this, please stay tuned!
One never can tell when one of the boys will feel up to an interview. Cats keep pretty much to themselves, as you know. I think Dougy was secretly proud about how cleverly he trapped that tasty fly, and had to let everyone know about it!
Wonderful interview with a hairy handsome dude.
Dougy is the chatty one of the two brothers!
” A bit crunchy, a hint of nuttiness, followed with a hint of bitterness. In short, quite good!” Hilarious….!!
Glad you liked Dougy’s review. He likes his food, so I am sure this is an accurate, honest description of how a fly tastes!
A tale of pure horror. Or ‘purr’ horror perhaps.

How true, though Dougy suggests that the fly was a delicious snack, and it would have starved to death inside had he not eaten it first: It was a mercy killing! (Sounds like kitty propaganda, but I report it exactly the way he presented his side of it.)
The Fly and Winged Critters Guild won’t see it that way, but hey, I’m just the messenger.

I’d suggest the flies and the cats have a joint press conference to sort this out for us, but I fear it would end in a disaster!
