      I keep telling my cat to be a hunter, and all she does is roll around on the floor and go “merop? Mrrrrr? MEROWP!” as the insects dance around.

        Mine stare at them, maybe do a light paw and meow like a maniac at them, they’re not good pest control.

        Luckily, the gratuitous amount of spiders seem to do their job, there’s a lot of lake flies!midges/gnats but I’ve never seen them or ants in the house, just spiders.

      Cats make for pretty poor insect control. They mostly kill spiders, not “pest” insects.
