La cucaracha!

When we came back from Takao-san last week, we found this guy having a party in the kitchen sink

We hadn't seen him since the night we moved in, but there he was, just having a grand old time.
We'd been gone for 12 hours, so he was probably assuming that we'd left for good.

Having tried to kill a roach in India once (no fun, not at all) i was not about to try that again.
Also, i try not to kill things in general.

After a couple of failed strategies, Allan managed to catch the sucker and we took him outside.
Actually, we took him all the way into the street, so he wouldn't just turn around and march back in here.
And i swear he gave us a disappointed look right before he walked away to find a new home, and i almost felt a little guilty for kicking him out of his house.

We haven't any other bug encounters since, so let's hope my mom is right about him being an only child.

Ps. In other creature news, the red kitty has been awfully loud these past few days.
I don't mind, i love cat sounds.
Right now it's raining a little, and it's standing in the yard meowing like crazy for someone to let it in.
