R.I.P Hornet
I spent close to an hour today trying to kill a hornet that somehow mysteriously ended up in the basement. This happens at least once or twice during the summer. I have to say, It's now dead. Instruments of death were; 1 broom, 1 magazine, 1 quick spray of the Raid Hornet spray. Now usually the first two instruments of death work, but for some reason today this one would not sit still. The cats are watching it waiting for it to fly to their level of leaping. Pffft! No luck for them today. I said, "Screw this. I've got stuff to do, and I'm tired of wasting time here." I grab the spray, and aim. Wah`la! It drops from the air like a 747 with no wings. Yah! Score! I pick it up and flush it.

Try living with insects instead of killing them. They are 100x smaller than you and really are more scared of you than you are of them.
Since you enjoy video games, I recommend trying "Bad Mojo: Redux". You get to play the entire game as a cockroach -- trying to figure out how to change back into a human. It's much better than it sounds, and may give you some insight into life as an insect.
When you're kind to living things, besides just your cats, living things will be kind to you :)

You sound like you talk to them. Are you an Insect Whisperer? Or are you from P.E.T.I. ? I'm curious that that you think insects feel fear.

I seriously doubt a video game will give me insight into the life of an insect. Besides, cockroaches will be here long after the human race is extinct.

Tell that to the hornet before that flew under my shirt while outside, and stung me. I'm sure he had tons of respect, and love for me. *nods* I have respect for living things. I do... But hornets in the house are a no go. Sorry. Hornets belong outside, if they come inside their chance of survival is nill. They will die from being smash, sprayed with bug spray, eaten by one of the cats, or just wind up dying of starvation.
