Speaking of flies, today I saw a spider directly without using a web, catch a fly about his same size, give the fly a choke hold with no option to tap out.

I've never seen this before and I'm no spring chicken. Or summer for that matter.

Is ‘moggie’ the inspiration for ‘muggles’?

That's very cool. I've seen a jumping spider catch a moth.

Maru means "chubby" in Japanese. He certainly lives up to his name!

He’s a cute cat too.

I can’t beLIEVE I’ve waited this long to check out the “Maru” phenom. That’s adorable! My faves: the dive-and-slide in the cereal box, and the large-cat-small-box figurine. My Mom’s gonna flip when I send her the links. Thanks for posting about the little guy.

I love that kitty! He is such character!.... much more active than the caticus sleepus oncouchus variety that occupies my house!
