Haha, loved the stories! I have similar problems with my crickets. Though it is true the cat helps keep them in check when they get out, but the cat also causes the problem from time to time. My kitten found my cricket keeper on the bookshelf one night when I was feeding, I had gotten up to answer the phone and by the time I was ending the call I heard a loud crash come from the living room. I knew immediately what I had just heard and came rushing in to find my cricket colony running for cover under my furniture... It took me and my fiance almost 2 hours to round up over 50 crickets! What a nightmare... I can't believe we recovered all of them, that was amazing! But lesson learned; never leave your cricket keeper unattended for even a moment around your cats! Lol, that's one night I will never forget!
