Now that spring is here, spiders have decided it's time to come and visit. Thankfully the cats find them. They want to play with them and eat them. The thing is, are they harmful to the cats?
Can they bite the cats? More importantly, can a spider bite kill a cat? (I killed a brown recluse last year, but that was the only one I ever found, have not seen any since)
Can eating them make the cats sick?
If anyone knows please please let me know. I am terrified of the blasted things as it is and when the cats do find one and I take away their toy by killing it, they are *not* happy campers. Samson especially gives me this angry sulking "Why the heck did you do that for?" look. Poor thing. If I knew the spiders weren't a threat to them, I would let them have at it!
Help!
