Now...when I encounter a spider in the house, I invariably scold our cat, whose job I feel it is to catch, play with, cripple, and eat things like spiders. I usually pick him up and plant him down next to it, pointing it out and exclaiming (like Bill Belichick) "DO YOUR JOB!"

But THIS...is animal cruelty!!!!!!!

LOL, the look on this cat's face clearly says "WTF! ARE YOU SH*TTING ME?"

I bet having that spider show up could make it an open question. I know my wife would be out of there.
