There is protein to be had in eating bugs and your cat somehow knows it is okay to eat them. You may see your cat put a bug in its mouth, spit it back out, and put it back in its mouth again. Your cat does this because it prefers dead but fresh prey. If it’s still alive and kicking, spit it back out.

There is no harm to your cat if it likes to eat bugs. Your cat is not fussy either. It will eat spiders, ants, caterpillars, flies, or even butterflies or moths. A benefit to a bug-eating cat is you will not have to use the fly swatter as often and your home will be a bit more insect-free.
