wtf....where's my wtf?

[deranged chipmunk]

Got a text from my son a few minutes ago. He was doing his chores and found my frog. Unfortunately, it was while he was changing one of the cats' litter boxes. The enclosure is right at the bottom of the basement steps, so i guess he jumped to the steps and up to the kitchen. To my big cat's credit, he is an excellent mouser, and he puts his kills in his litter box. The little cat isn't as nice, he leaves his kills all over. We have several foreclosed properties in the neighborhood, so everyone has been getting mice it really sucks that it happened, but at least now i can go forward.

Aww man, I'm sorry

[HerpDerp]

Aww that sucks . I hope the cat is okay too. Not sure how the toxins would affect a cat? On the upside, at least you know if you have any unwanted critters in your house the cat will take care of it!

Well that's a bummer. Like Michelle said, I hope the cat is okay. I remember the vet telling me when he found parasites in their poop that the only way for me or my cats to get them was if we ate the frogs.

Sorry

well, on the upside, the cat never eats what he kills. for some unknown reason, if he catches a mouse, he takes it and drops it in his litter box. sorry, i should have mentioned it was not digested. i was really upset about it at work today because i have seen this cat catch mice before, and it is impressive to say the least. he's half maine coon (both my cats are, same mommy), so he's a very large (21 lbs) animal. what upset me is i have an idea what he did to that poor little guy. my daughter has been a mess all day because she knows as well. but i made sure to let her know it's ok and i'm not mad at her, just please do not ever open any of my enclosures. as a sign of forgiveness, i gave her Casanova, my fire walker frog, but he stays where he is. and we are going shopping together for a new wtf or two this weekend.

So sorry, Bill! We got lucky -- when ours got out, he was sitting on our living room windowsill in the morning. Now that's a weird experience, to be drinking your morning tea and look over and see a WTF walking along your windowsill...

He's fine, although he's pissed as hell that he cannot go walkabout anymore.

The boys are back in town!!! Came home from work today, and went to turn on my pc and lo and behold, there was Technoboy sitting on top of my tower!! I set up a quarantine tub for him very quickly and gave him a little soak in some pedialyte. I'll be keeping a very close eye on him in the next few weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed. Amazingly, he didn't look or feel dried out at all. I figured i would wait to feed him until tomorrow. I want to give him some recovery time. Is that the right thing to do, or should i feed him sooner?

[FriedrichsFrogs]

wait, what? you found him? i thought u said your son already found the frog dead?

[deranged chipmunk]

i never actually SAW the remains. my wife told my son to toss it in the trash before it was picked up. she didn't want it to smell. i really have NO idea what it is he found in the litter box then. for all i know, the cat dug something out of the trash. but, in my son's defense, he is an idiot....lol i asked him about it today and he told me "well, i thought it looked like it could have been a frog". i broke my first rule of management, never trust an employee, always verify for yourself.....LOL

OMG ! This is great news.
I would feed him! It will help him recover from the stress.
Happy for you !

[deranged chipmunk]

I did feed him. He at 4 crickets last night. Of course he probably was feeding on stragglers for two weeks. And here i thought it was the crickets getting eaten by spiders. Guess not.....lol

That's great! It must have been quite a surprise since you assumed he was dead! That reminds me when my uncle found his cat dead in the road and went and buried it and then the next day my aunt was coming home from work and there was the cat, sitting on their porch. Not sure who's cat they buried, but boy were they glad it wasn't theirs! Anyways, I'm glad you found your frog!
