A tiger moth.

Maybe a five-inch wingspan. Gorgeous moth. Banging against one of our windows battering itself trying to get out.

I caught it, showed it to the cat to see if she wanted to eat it, then, when she responded too slowly, put it out the kitchen window. It flew away, glittering.

It's a very, very small life I saved. No mind to speak of. But it's alive.

Im not treading on your toes on what you choose to do with an creature, but you purposely gave the cat an option to kill it when otherwise if the cat wasnt around you would have just let it go, I just found that really bizarre.

The cat's more important than the moth.

In fact, the cat's ENJOYMENT is more important than the moth.

However, the moth is not without value.

Personally I dont think enjoyment can be superior to a life.
If the cat was starving and needed that moth I think it's be more appropriate to offer it to the cat in that instance.
