Along came a spider...

So, this morning I take my coffee and a good book to our comfortable overstuffed leather reading chair next to the living room window. A nice way to welcome the day, huh

Ugh. While I don't have a brown recluse story in my history, I *do* have the same relationship with spiders you have. The problem I run into with them, however, isn't the bits, although those are annoying.

It's their webs.

I absolutely cannot stand the feel of spiderwebs. I can't even explain the reaction I have to the sensation. Since I've seen a couple of spiders in the new house every few days, I'm debating an exterminator. But the spider problem in the old house was *much* worse.

I hope Kelvin proves he is a mighty hunter.

Kelvin has vanquished the buzzing insect, at the very least. At the end, the thing couldn't fly, it just hopped around and K would jump on it, paw and bit it, then it would jump away and he'd do it again. As much fun as it was watching K do this, I took pity on the poor fly, and killed it outright.

As for the spider, no idea where it is hiding. I just hope *I* never see it again.

Spike is wonderful for stuff like that too. He's a talented little hunter. He stalks anything that moves (including myself).

[great_eye]

Yeah! Sounds just like K. This morning he was stalking the dust mote in the sunbeam through the window. LOL!

:-) I, too, sic my kitty on creepy crawlies that I'm afraid to attack with a vacuum cleaner. Nice to know I'm not the only one!

And, hon, I emailed you last week asking for your snail mail address. Wanna send it to me?

[great_eye]

Odd, I did not receive any e-mail. I just checked old mail and junk mail folder (which I had not deleted yet) so I can offer no explanation for that. I'll send an e-mail with address

Luckily, cats find spiders to be acceptable prey!

You get total kudos from me b/c I strongly suspect I would both have screamed *and* squealed and then made my Dad kill it. Handy, living with a retired guy.

Understand about the mixed feelings as well. Spiders, like snakes, are cool in theory, but since I can't tell the good ones from the bad ones, I assume they're all bad!

[great_eye]

Yep! like snakes cool and creepy at the same time.
