It’s true!
There’s a slug in my kitchen right now, working as energetically as a slug can on a stray piece of kibble. I’ve checked a couple of times, and the kibble is getting smaller.
I usually grab the slugs and flush them, but I’m letting the little guy go for now.
No, I did not know that.
Did you know slugs have orgies in the moonlight? It’s true. They nearly covered my best friend’s birdbath one night, writhing and sliding around one another in truly orgiastic fashion. There were hundreds of them, glistening in the light of a full moon.
I’m sure it must have been an amazing sexperience. For a slug.
I’m thinking that for a slug, eating kibble must be pretty great. Lots of good proteins and flavor.
There’s not another slug in here this time, so I’m not seeing the sextasticness.
Update: slug is now done with the kibble and trying to either crawl under the linoleum or up the wall. It doesn’t seem sure. It’s U shaped right now.
My slug’s breath smells of cat food.
Pointy slug-y stole the key!
Slug has now gone under the linoleum. But I’m sure some of his friends will visit again, to slime my carpet and wave at me from the toilet seat.
You should take a photo, caption it “I’m in ur kitchen, eatin ur catfud” and post it to http://icanhascheezburger.com/
That’s nothing, they eat cat (and fox) poop too. My friend has a lawn where turds regularly appear - he just ignores them and the slugs take care of the problem.
On the way in, on the way out, it’s all good from a slug’s perspective.
Ever try to hit a slug with a tennis racket? I did. Scooped it up, flung it in the air and whack. Spent the next 15 minutes cleaning slug bits from my hair and clothes.

Do not let the slug climb into your lap.
Slugs will eat cat food.
Slugs will eat cat poop.
Slugs will eat your cat, when he is dead.
Someday, slugs will eat you!
So, be nice to your slugs.
Or, they might not wait.
Cats won’t eat slugs, though. So if there’s a slug in your catfood dish, don’t leave it in the hope that someone else will deal with it.
Do you have any beer in the house? Pour a little into a plate or something easily accesible for a slug. They love the stuff!

After stepping on slugs more times than I would like to recall, that is one of the most disgusting images I have ever had implanted on my brain.
Congratulations.

No. I’ve done a lot of things, but that one never occurred to me.
I did have a big slug problem at my previous house, so I used to go out after rain with the garden fork and skewer them all.
