For some strange reason this has been The Year of the Dragonflies. It has been a lot cooler this summer than usual, plus our a/c is not working correctly, so we've had the balcony door open and have been using the fans all over the flat. Since the door and a couple windows have been opened we've had 5 dragonflies come in so far. Two managed to get themselves back out the door. Two others were hunted down and killed by my Mighty Huntress. The 5th one is currently clinging to this weird pipe thing, or maybe it's some kind of brace in the concrete roof that is really supposed to be IN the concrete, not poking out of it, on the office ceiling.
Cheyenne really, really,
really,
REALLY want to get it, too. Right now she's pacing around the livingroom, all upset because it is
up there where she can't reach it. She even asked me very nicely to make it fly down for her. Yes, she did - she walked up to me on the desk, smelled my nose and meowed softly. :-) Poor dragonfly. It's days are numbered, one way or another.

So she eats dragonflies but she won't go fishing?
Typical cat doing what you don't expect.
Yep. We ended up with 4 or 5 dragonflies in our flat yesterday. She killed two of them, Dad smashed one on the wall (stained the wallpaper good), and the other two escaped with psychological trauma. She totally ignores the fish - except to watch them every once in awhile for a few seconds, then walks away. She won't chase any other bugs, just the dragonflies. I wonder if they are coming in because they smell the water in the pond? It has been very, very dry this summer.
