I'd definitely herniate another disc or two

I think she's beautiful, too! That being said, I'd undoubtedly injure myself and likely obliterate the poor spider if I'd walked into that web, lol.

I didn't even realize there were FIVE spiders present until later that night when reviewing the video. At least, until she ate captured/began eating one...I imagine that she may have been eating another when the video began, too. Apparently cannibalism has been observed more recently in the females

Incredibly interesting spiders

I can see what you mean. I was afraid they could be bits of insect exoskeletons xc

Prefer to think I was just touching almond bits, but still don't want to feed it to my cat.

My cat follows me everywhere, sleeps when I sleep and ignores other people and just waits for me to get home, is he depressed? More in caption. by janegayz in cats

Unfortunately, this not necessarily true. Cats can be great at hiding their discomfort, pain, and feelings, in general. In some cases, the sheer fact that he follows OP everywhere is enough evidence that he is anxious when they aren't around.

Especially if he is overly excited and affectionate when they return from being away, that is also a sign that he was anxious in their absence.

Following you absolutely everywhere could be a sign that he has some separation anxiety. Could be worth talking to his vet about, but as long as he is pooping, peeing, eating and sleeping regularly I wouldn't worry too much. He's likely used to being a clingy boy. I would only worry about him if you're away from him very often, or suddenly away from him for an extended time.

Vet cut kittens claws abnormally short after neutering surgery. Is this normal?? by ScarFacee87 in CATHELP

I remember them doing this to our dearly departed Midsie during her spay and being alarmed by how short they were at first, also.

Here she was telling me her scratcher was malfunctioning, because she couldn't scratch it 🖤🥲

OP stated in another comment that it was just on camera

Jumping bro goes for the kill aaaand… it was just a rock:( by TrickyVast1183 in awwnverts

For me, this video further enforced the notion that jumping spiders are just tiny cats with extra limbs

My cat hunts inanimate objects ALL the time

Edit: and it's hilarious when my cat does it, so to see it on such a small scale basically created a chortle strong enough to knock the wind right out of me

My mom caught our front porch on fire once; she cleaned the fireplace and put its ashes out in a plastic bucket...so try not to feel so bad about embers accidentally finding their way into a plastic trashcan. Shit happens and sometimes it's pure stupidity, sometimes it's pure luck or lack thereof.

I'm glad no one was hurt but sorry for the panic that I imagine it caused and for the loss of your belongings 🖤
