We have a cat and we tend to feed her outside, unless it’s raining. Like most cats she tends to leave some of her food for Ron (later on) which please the crows and a few other birds that descend upon an unguarded food bowl.
Now for the odd part, we have noticed this summer that when we return home her food bowl always has a number of dead wasps in it. Why? Is there something in the cat food that’s killing them or is the cat killing them (highly unlikely).
Any body else come across this and if so is there an answer?

I know nothing of cats, or their feeding habits Rick, but perhaps it might have something to do with the wasps lethargy just now. Wasps are at their most dangerous at the moment, because they are slow and dopey – so said an article in the news, which I suppose makes them vulnerable. My pal was stung a couple of days, only because she was wavy her arms about, and aggravating the damn thing. I guess the cat food disagreed with their digestive system, not much nectar in it is there 🙂 Other than that, I haven’t a clue.
However, as wasps don’t appear to have much value, to man or beast, I suggest you put more cat food out, lets get rid of the damn things 🙂
Val we have noticed this all summer so lethargy isn’t the answer.
I also hate wasps, but they do a good job in cleaning up debris such as dead animals, insects etc.
Oh dear, so they do have a use, soddit, I hate the damn things. You’ll have google a waspologist, or whatever their name might be 🙂 If I come up with anything, I’ll let you know Rick.
