Bella: The Bug Hunter

by Grace
(Oregon)

My white cat named Bella, who is almost two years old, is a natural at catching and eating bugs. After a while, we took this for granted. That's when one day, we saw her with a Dragon Fly in her mouth. I said that right, a DRAGON FLY. I did not want her to eat it, so I tried to let it go, but its wing was broken, so I set it out on a plant to rest. My cat must have lethally hurt it, because it soon died.

Two days after, I found another Dragon Fly on the floor of my living room, which was already dead. I keep both of the Dragon Flies in a box lined with cotton balls to this day.
