I tried to get Dougy involved in this blog post…
…even pointing out the resident lamp stand spider was within paw range. (Notice she’s a blur: She may be a young spider, but she knows about kitty boys. Yep, she does the “spidey” skidaddle eight step when she sees a kitty!)
So I “scritch” Dougy and call his name. “See the spider, Douglas?!”
“Whaaat!?” he asks with some agitation, “Today’s Caturday. Bug off!”
Our kitties eat spiders if they can reach them. I’ve seen many a spider reeling down from the ceiling, only to suddenly gain altitude again. 🙂
LOL! Yeah! My two like to pat them till they stop moving so much, then one of them will eat it. It’s one activity that they especially like to do together.
We have a regular patrol for spiders. Shinki taught Tony and Tony taught Cloud. In the morning he checks under the edges of all the cabinets and all the corners and gets them. I don’t mind them really but if they tresspass in kitty territory it’s their own fault.
Exactly! And lucky you having all those helpful kitties showing each other the ropes!
We have a resident spider in the bathroom that stays away from the cats too 🙂
I hope the apartment is spider free eventually! They get smart after a time or two with the kitty boys.
A lot of Dougy and not too much Andy lately. What gives?
Just depends on which cat’s around when I do photos. If the available kitty gives me more than one day’s worth of photos, he gets more coverage on the blog. If I luck out and have both in the viewfinder at once, all the better! I like the posts where they are interacting best, but it doesn’t always work out that way.
I was only kidding! Cats have minds of their own, as I know very well.
That’s a fact!
MOL…that’s catitude for ya. Have you examined each step of Mr. Spidey’s Dougy. It’s never safe until you know for sure she’s not going to come after you.
Shoko
They are more frightened by us that the other way around…I hope!
Spiders at this time of year? No wonder he lives in the lamp. A spider home with heat and light and electricity!
The spider and other critters have had a relatively warm autumn so far, so there haven’t been too many in the house. You are right, though, about the heat. Fortunately, the kitty boys at=re attracted to the same heat sources!
Haha. No help or interest from that one.
Ms. Spider needs a little kitty attention. That’s Andy and Dougy’s job!
Stupid spidey – if it wouldn’t move, the cat wouldn’t notice.
Very true!
He does have strong views on the right time and place for everything !
Well, he IS a cat and he is a very spoiled one at that!
