I know how much you love my bug and spider problem here but it getting fixed this Friday as I'me getting my house sprayed for termites and spiders and other bugs.

Last night my cats went wild attacking something in the bedroom and it turned out to be another huntsman. My wife found the spider dangling at about face hight right at the bottom of the stairs so I was called to deal with it.
I just found this spider leg on the floor that the cats obviously pulled off the spider before it got away.
I've placed the leg on a 50p coin for you to get the idea of size.

Remember this is just one of its 8 legs.

No cats...A few years ago, loads of cats went missing and guess where they all turned up? In a Chinese take-away hanging up! This is not a joke! It was well covered in the papers!

Luckily I HATE take-away food

Cats give you affection, but dogs go everywhere and annoy you (although dogs are perfect for railwaymen such as me )

The only thing a cat would get off me is a boot! I've seen them sniffing around my budgies when I sit them oustside in the summer. I've chased a few off with a rake, I would not have held back end of

I prefur dogs, but not a fan of either, better when they belong to others!

Always been a cat lover - I have two, not really a dog person - too much maintenance!

My cats love spiders and butterflies - and the odd mouse and bird . . .

We had two cats once, both black and called 'Sooty' and 'Sweep' We would have a dog, but my dad doesn't like them. I used to have a phobia of dogs, but I have been cured The reason behind my dad not liking them is that when he first learnt to walk, he went into the neighbours garden and was instantly knocked down by a fully grown Alsatian

Each to their own - I refuse to have a dog in the house. I like them as long as they are well behaved and someone elses!
