Unfortunately my current living situation won't allow for that. My three cats can either sleep locked in my bedroom with me, or outside, and that isn't going to happen, especially now that it's super cold.
then i might be tempted to look into kitty antipsychotics/antidepressants
I'm sorry . . . but . . . I appreciate how freaked out that spider made me?This is a spider appreciation thread
You gave her permission by allowing her to repeat the behavior and by inviting her to snuggle then wiggling your tasty toes. She has done nothing wrong. If you expected different behavior, stop sending mixed messages.
luckily she's gotten nicer in her old age. Now she only makes noise to wake me up.
He's a super nice calm kitty... he's just terribly clumsy and sometimes misses when he jumps and tries his best to hold on. I think it's happened 2-3 times in 10 years, but they are memorable times for me. He's not the one that occasionally attacks my toes, that one has calmed with age too. I do have a dog that I'm considering antipsychotics for though...
The way you made it sound initially didn't sound like an accident. I had a client who's young cat viciously bit her face unprovoked while she was in bed and she didn't know what to do.
Oh no, I didn't mean to make it sound like that. He likes to sleep on my pillow next to my head, and I typically sleep with my head right on the edge of the bed, so sometimes when he jumps up he gets my face instead of the bed. It's no less traumatic for me to be woken up like that, but it's not intentional on his part. He's the one cat I let my little niece carry around because he actually enjoys the attention. He follows her around waiting for her to pick him up again.
Well, looks like people have already posted most of the pictures from a Google Image search of "cute spider". Just goes to show how little appreciation there is.
Speaking of spider appreciation, did you know that spiders work together to form communities? It's not just the Hymenoptera that can work together!
Who's seen this story?
YOU GOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO PUT A COIN BY IT
jesus dude, back to cute spiders.
As a drummer, I appreciate this tremendously!
No no no, a ball of cute spiders.
This is good, because I hate birds.Sweet dreams
I said later in my post that I thought they actually looked like harvestmen, which are arachnids but not spiders (Order Opiliones if you wanna be that guy).
Ninja'd by the in-house entomologist! Although someone who studies arachnids would actually be an arachnologist, I believe.
Meathead, no!
I used to catch 'em in bottle caps as a kid. They're kind of cute once you stop feeling the need to check your skin to see if they're crawling all over you.
I'm ok with really big spiders, pet spiders, cute spiders, playing spiders...
Man, my cat and I need to have a talk.
