SecurityWriter, My cat is great at catching spiders. There are however a few caveats:
Spiders must be sufficiently enormous to be fun. Somewhere between “Oh lawd he coming” and Shelob.
Spider catching only happens at night, and only in the bedroom.
Cat will make a few chirping noises to alert us that a spider is being hunted.
All spiders must be delivered as gifts onto the chest or face of one of us.
Note I only said great at ‘catching’. Delivered spiders are very much alive and very fucking irate about the current state of affairs.
