What keeps you up at night more?

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)

a couple of days of milder [10 c] weather here and I kept finding dopey, large winged ants wandering around. including on the bed, middle of winter.
I don't believe I've actually manged this, but I think I'm getting the cat /trained/ to be patient! If you're planning any courses on domestic ant training, FB, do let us know.

Put a few in individual test tubes and you can give starter ant colonies as Spring (Easter? anything like that) gifts for all your friends!
I love to put an ant colony in an Easter basket for the right sorts of kids at church. (with instructions on care)
Their parents have mixed feelings but it's educational.

@futurebird neither. I’ll knock out between 7-9 PM. The good nights I sleep until 4 AM and wake well rested not pondering any crime. The bad nights I get a nap, up for many hours, and then get another nap.

@futurebird @vfrmedia @funkula LOL, I've got to go to bed now.

@futurebird Look I'm just saying, there's s clear difference between them, "cat burgler" is in our culture and vocabulary a STOCK PHRASE.

@futurebird ... so clearly ant crime is the FAR more dire concern. Nobody's watching them! Who KNOWS what they're capable of getting up to!

@futurebird definitely cat crime. I'm required to fend off nearly nightly attempted smothering.

@llewelly @futurebird it's not so much the fear that keeps me up. More so the sound of small objects being gingerly knocked off tables and countertops.
@eric @futurebird
have you tried hiding the ginger?If cat did not have ginger, cat could not gingerly knock off tables, countertops, and other high places.

@futurebird never had an ant topple anything i think
@esvrld @futurebird Even as we speak, the Ants are building an advanced civilization right under our noses, and when the time is right, they will topple humanity.

You might have a colony of carpenter ants in the wall.I suggest inspecting for damage. -
