There's a cricket that has gotten into our kitchen, and since we don't know where it is and therefore can't catch it to get it back outside, we just started calling it Jiminy and will have to put up with it until it dies.

@acarson Oh no. Poor cricket. And poor you. One time there was a cricket that got into the school, and it would chirp in the halls when people would congregate. I thought it was cute, but I imagine the situation is different in one’s own home, and kitchen. I hope some how you can find it and get it outside before it dies though. Chirp chirp! LOL.
@adam Yeah it’s chirping now. It’ll do that until about 5 in the morning, and it starts about now. Admittedly he’s not as loud as he probably could be.
@adam It’s kind of funny because the cricket literally stays in one general area. I’m a little surprised it hasn’t tried to get out or anything.
@acarson Awh. Its probably comfortable where it is for the moment. How long has it been there?
@adam /about a week I think, but I’m not exactly sure when it got in.
@acarson Oh wow! I wonder what its doing for food? I imagine you keep your kitchen clean enough as for it not to have too much to munch on, LOL.
@adam Yeah I wonder the same thing, because we do. But apparently they will eat just about anything. They apparently especially like sweat-stained cloth, which we don’t have in the kitchen. Also carpet, which we also don’t have. Yes I’ve googled the crap out of crickets.
@acarson Hahahaha. Awwhhh. Poor little thing. I’m sure it doesn’t mean any harm. Just trying to survive in this crazy world. Chirp chirp. LOL.
@acarson oh lord! that totally sucks! thank god, knock on wood, we haven’t had one get into our trailer yet, and I hope we don’t!
@JamminJerry We’re taking it in stride.
@acarson Oh dear. I wonder if it will somehow find its way out.
@acarson that’s really about all you can do. here is hoping your kitchen is no where near your bedroom, or that could make sleep a bit dificult.
@JamminJerry It’s at the other side of the apartment, so we’re managing.
@acarson well that helps.
@sapphireangel I’d like it to find its way out but not sure it will.
@acarson hmm I wonder if there is some way to get it out. Did you try calling animal control to see if they have suggestions?
@sapphireangel No we haven’t tried that.
@acarson Southern living did a piece it looks like about how to catch it, though it kills it.
@acarson This is what cats are for. A cat will spend hours obsessively lurking and stalking it, until, one evening, it sticks its head up, and, like lightning, the cat pounces on it and disembowels it with a swipe of a claw.
@sapphireangel Yeah I’m seeing this. Apparently they drown.
@acarson yeah, sad if you want it to survive.
