Tucker and the bug

First, thank you to everyone who posted comments about our late family friend. The funeral was a dignified tribute and send off. The family was very appreciative of the support.

Today's photos include a newer member of the, um, family. Jim works for a community newspaper, and as part of a press release, was given a hissing Madacascar cockroach. This bug is HUGE, more than 3 inches long. In the second photo, I drew an arrow pointing to him (her?).

The cats are fascinated with this creature. Here's Tucker watching with interest.

We bet he's very crunchy and wonder if he hisses all the way down to your belly after you eat him. Our Mom is going "eeeee-uuuuu!"

I'd be a bit concerned of the new protein source Tucker is contemplating.

We hope he does not escape!

That does sound like a fun creature for the cats to check out! It's way more interesting than the native bugs here, that's for sure!

Also, ew.
