Default Is there anything that ants can't crawl on?

Cats kill roaches (they can see them in the dark).

But getting a cat to deal with the roaches sometimes substitutes a
roach problem for a flea problem.

But cats can do things other than catch roaches. For instance, they
can, er... sleep. But they do that VERY well. You'll be proud.

Of course there was Towser, who, in her career as mouser-in-chief of
the Glenturret distillery (makers of "Famous Grouse" - yum), caught
28,899 mice during her 23-year employment.


What a cat! Could catch mice and count to a very high number.


Cats can count. If you ever see a momma cat count her babies, you'll know.

But you raise an interesting question:: can a cat count up to 30,000?


Sure. But they don't have that many fingers, so you have to provide an
abacus for them.
