Fred Basset by Alex Graham for September 21, 2009

What’s a “bluebottle”? Some kind of bug? I’m Canadian and have never heard of it. That room looks something like my house looks like after my cat’s chased a fly. Plants knocked over, what was on the tables is on the floor. He hasn’t knocked over a chair, yet…but he’s brought down the curtains. sigh

Hi cymbol,

You guessed right it was a fly, we sure got funny names for some house pests. Well done Fred.

This is what used to happen when our hound spotted his archenemy – the dreaded black and white cat!

Sometimes my cats just get all excited over nothing and thrash around like that. I never do figure out what set them off.

If my dog did this he’d be out the window with the fly!!

Fred was just doing his job, protecting you

sad part, the bluebottle was outside the window

Fred went wildly to chase after the fly and let it go through the opening window. Well done, Freddy! LOLs!

My dear cat never made a mess at my home while he chased after the stupid fly and then, he finally caught and ate it anyway. Sighhhhhhhh! Don’t tell me that it was gross! OK!

We are always cleaning the sliding glass window at our house…My basset Cleo likes to slobber and snap at the flies…sometimes she will get a few…so much for her diet…blaaghh!

Destroying a town to save a set of traffic lights? Priceless…
