@futurebird never had an ant topple anything i think

@futurebird Our male cat fancies himself a bit of a crooner and he usually starts his set right as I'm starting to nod off.

@futurebird well now I’m worried about both.

FYI #PicaTheCat has requested that I show her how everyone voted?

Listen I'm sorry! She is VERY purrsuasive.

@futurebird cat crime definitely keeps me up. sometimes Buster just will not let me sleep without him and Ginger in the room. i don't get good sleep when they do that.

@futurebird pica has nothing to worry about as nothing she has ever done is a crime

@futurebird Cat crime, because I have to be awake to commit it.

@futurebird Ants might steal a little sugar. Cats are well known murderers. You're going to have to do the math for her.

@futurebird ants are pretty quiet about their crimes

@futurebird@sauropods.win you know, I guess I always just assumed ants were rather orderly and law-abiding

@funkula @futurebird

to be fair its way too cold for ants here in England (I think they hibernate and don't bother people), and the only cats who visit my house are from the neighbours and they behave well.

One tortie who visits me was intently staring at the wall during summer, I was wondering "why is she looking at that wall?" and the next day there were loads of flying ants, so she spotted them before I did (she even once climbed into the interior of my car and helped me evict a flying bug, which was a good thing as otherwise the bug would fly about inside and cause the security alarm to blare in the middle of the night)

@futurebird to be clear these are crimes committed by cats not crimes committed against cats, yes?

@catsalad @futurebird LOL, cat crime because they pounce in the night.

@futurebird they said these criminals would be SMOOTH. they are NOT smooth.

@futurebird Ant crime - cat crimes don't exist because cats can do no wrong

@futurebird@sauropods.win

I suppose it's because they're organised, but i've not known ant activities to affect me adversely. So I can't comment on proclivities for crime.

Cats however, even in a gang, are a bloody menace.

@futurebird Ants do their crime quietly and subtly…

@futurebird bird crime

@futurebird More frequently? Cat crime. I get woken by it many a night, though I typically fall asleep again soon after. With more intense alarm? Ant crime. They may not wake me often, just once every few years; but if I get woken up by ants, I will not fall back asleep, I am very awake now.
