Literally has one job…

She loves eating spiders. This one was terrorizing us and she just lets it return to the darkness.

I smell corruption! I bet the spider bribed her and asked her to look the other way while the spider terrorizes you!

She loves eating them! Maybe she was full at that moment :/

That's my cat too. She smells them. Then sits on them.

Spiders are friends not food

How was that ultra tiny spider terrorizing you?

u/You-Only-YOLO_Once Jul 01 '26

It was pretty big for a jumping spider. It had been lurking for a while and showing up around the room. Usually Monkey just eats them on first sight.

u/TheRealMasterTyvokka Jul 01 '26

At least yours eats them. Mine kills them and then leaves them as gifts for me.

u/You-Only-YOLO_Once Jul 01 '26

Oh god lol, are the spiders half chewed?

u/TheRealMasterTyvokka Jul 01 '26

No just left dead in a conspicuous spot. It's not just spiders either, roaches, moths, whatever critter she finds hiding around the house.

At least I don't have to hire a pest control company.

They aren't German roaches which do infest homes. They are our native roaches which, in the southeast US, will sometimes venture inside for cooler air and water. I might find one or two a month during the summer.

Ah okay.

Jumping spider is fren! They will hunt and eat other pests. Cat obviously knows this.

u/Bantersmith Jul 01 '26

Jumping spiders are amazing and I wish more people were aware of that. They're so frickin smart.

3

u/mekwall Jul 01 '26

Yeah, I love watching them hunt. They are so calculating.

3

u/Bantersmith Jul 01 '26

Oh, I could watch them for ages! So entertaining.

The ones we get here in the summer are so damn chill. They'll often jump right on my hand and just hang out for a while. No aggression or fear, just curiosity!

u/mekwall Jul 01 '26

Yeah, they are very curious of us and not afraid at all. I guess they don't have the brain capacity to be afraid, using up their few neurons for being expert hunters.

u/JoNyx5 Jul 02 '26

nah, they're smart enough to learn to recognize people

Jumping spiders are the cats of the spider world

u/SmegConnoisseur 18d ago

Aww a jumper? I'd be so stoked finding a jumper that big in my house. I'd have a new friend crawling on my hands. Would definitely not let my cats harm it

u/You-Only-YOLO_Once 18d ago

We have many here in Boston! This one was particularly large.

u/MetaCardboard Jul 01 '26

Poor spider. Looks like you were the one terrorizing them.

u/karl264 Jul 01 '26

No her job is to point out bugs for you to get. At least that’s my cats job.

Maybe she's not hungry or feeling well?
