House centipedes are actually friends! They don’t eat your food, clothes, or house, nor spread disease, but they do eat all the little bugs that do those things.

Cat be like:

Years ago my cat was joyfully playing with a house centipede and my boyfriend at the time told me to look, she was doing something cute.

I rolled back in my office chair to turn around and see and in doing so rolled over her centipede, killing it.

And she just looked at me like “papa, why?”

I’m a monster. She’s long dead too and I still feel awful.

House centipede?

We get centipede but not in the house.

That's the face of a killer.

I once woke up in the middle of the night to see my cat straight up jump onto a vertical wall, strike a house centipede, and then eat half of it. I found the legs on the desk in the morning...

House centipedes are bros! They hunt and kill roaches.

The M on his head stands for “Murder.”

My cats once got in a fight with a praying mantis in an old townhouse.

I'd seen praying mantisses before but this one was a. in my home and b. large enough to be genuinely a little intimidating. The cats won, but it took a long time because they were being more cautious than usual.

I have one like this, she's having fun. It's to the point where I don't even kill roaches anymore, I just wish them luck and find their corpse in the morning. One time she ripped the tail off a skink, but he got away and hid for like 3 days until I found him and let him outside lol.

I didn't know we had centipedes that would come inside before living in a flat that was half way in a basement. Also didn't know a colony of silverfish was a thing. Centipedes, who obviously were in for a buffet, were nothing compared to that silvery fishy horror that I discovered rustling under the floor cover of my dog's food bowls at midnight. Didn't live there long after that.

savagely cute
