Ah, well, some cat’s got to do it so it’s good thing you signed on for the job! I, myself, have enough to do with ruling my kingdom of three humans from my blanket throne upon my living room couch! Where would these humans be without us?

I enjoy finding tiny black frogs in my Catio where the two huge water bowls are. Every morning I find one or two frogs and I try to bring them indoors to play with. But when Momma sees me with my toy, she takes it away and sets it free. I've never played with a spider that big, but I bet if I brought it into the house my Momma would shriek before she scooped it into a container and set it free outside.Adorapurrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957810621526541485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551272550362981197.post-38754679948039226982022-10-17T22:08:09.438-04:002022-10-17T22:08:09.438-04:00That's indeed a large spider, Chance.
