I recall somewhere in the long past that spider webs helped the blood to
clot when placed on wounds.

This makes sense, since spiders wrap their bugs in them when they store them
for eating later. Also, Cobs are spiders, it is an old English term I think.
But why does Buddha eat them? She gets wet food twice a day and dry, too.
Today she came up to Cheeky's food room, and I looked over and Cheeks was
eating her food and Boo was scooping out cobwebs from under the Etagierre.

eating cobwebs, or spiderwebs?

I believe that spiderwebs were used in poultices, but I could be
wrong. :-)

Laura, the only difference between cobwebs and spiderwebs in the way I use
the terms is that the former are webs no longer occupied by spiders, the
latter active. Buddha eats them all. Neither of our cats are
bug/insect/arachnid eaters. To Boo, it is like cotton candy, or that's the
way it looks, watching her gathering it.

I always thought that cobwebs were just dust and whatnot that got
stuck together and blown into corners.


Oh puleeze. Laura! I thought you knew all the technical terms. Those are
DUST BUNNIES. Sheesh.

OHH! Learn something new every day! ;-)

Always happy to help you with the really tough technical terms.
