4 days agoThis is Rooster. I took her and 2 siblings in as feral kittens and named them after hot sauces on account of a friend mentioning their "spiciness" (Tabasco, Siracha, Rooster, and the 4th I didnt catch was Franks). As they were kittens, and kittens are batshit crazy with energy, and as there was a fly problem that summer, they associated this sound with flies being stunned into a catchable state. After de-spicing them, I kept this kitten, rehomed the other two and she still associates the click of the fly swatter and the sound of electrocution with us hunting together. . . .then again she also chatters when I sneeze so maybe she just thinks Im an electric fly swatter.
