The lifespan of an Exotique

10h31: The Jeebsters enters the feeding area with a bazinette complète and lo! a behandled, geometrically wrapped specimen, heretofore unknown to the rapacious prédatrice de pâtisserie, the Aralena californica.


10h31.15: Ripping savagely into the opaque encasing, proboscis burrowing past the layers of paper and plastic, the Aralena triumphantly scoops out the tender, glistening Exotique, its flimsy shell no match for the feral female at feeding time.


10h32: While not common for its kind, this particularly fastidious Aralena employs two Swedish stabbing tools to incise the colorful prey, cutting and devouring methodically and silently, increasingly aware that its pungent berry scent will attract other ravenous predators.


10h33: Within a matter of seconds, mauve smearings of the Exotique's vital fluids are all that remain of its once majestic textured layers. Sated and undergoing the first stages of a glucose surge, the Aralena californica bounds out of her kitchen-cage and attacks her indulgent zoo keeper, also known as "Jeebs."

This is a visual I hadn't imagined! My girl as a "feral female" in the "feeding area". Come to think of it though, my girl has never been a slouch when it comes to enjoying her feed!

mumsy, I knew you of all people wouldn't forget my evenings devoted to gluttony!
