I don't know WHAT it is, but none of mine--and we've had 5, (two pairs, one solo rescue) since the mid-80's--seem to be remotely inspired to hunt
crickets.
SCORPIONS, however,
oh, yeah, baby, they'll chase those little suckers around all night. I'm hell on wheels against scorpions, as I'm always convinced that they're out to get my sweet patooties. (Note: I've been stung by one. It's bloody awful. Not unsurvivable,
generally, but quite painful. I don't like to think about an equivalent amount of venomous serum in their body weights, even though I've had two vets claim that cats "tolerate Scorpion stings quite well." I think that's BS; I think cats are just stoic.)
