The Bug Hunter
May 12th, 2011
The other night, I happened upon this scene
Quincy was feeling quite satisfied with himself for having scored a box to sit in. Nevermind that it was precariously perched and the cats don’t normally just ‘hang out’ on the banister.
But then the specialness of the box became secondary to this…
High above the descending stairs, a teensy tiny spider
Barnie surveys the scene
Quincy has a solution
Teamwork!

Love this so cute!
LOL at Quincy’s face in the “heehee” pic!
My husband, who was once bitten by a spider and now cannot stand to be in the same room with one, freaks out every time our cat (Alley) stares at the ceiling. She, like Quincy and Barnie, is an excellent spider finder! How do they even notice a spider that is so small crawling way up on the ceiling?!
I have a kitty I call the Master Spidey Catcher
She always finds them, and tortures them, and then eats them!
I love your storytelling, and your kitties
Gravity should apply to small, ceiling spiders too!!
Don’t you hate it when spiders zoom down on a web? Kind of like gravity. Spider Gravity.
It was funny how this very small spider got their attention for a very long time.
I love the “Tough location” caption!
