Eyyuuuu! Does he hook them with his paws? That is what Buddha does.
But it is just the webby ones for her, not the Dust Rhinos way under the
beds that I only clean out every couple of months.


Yep, he does. He acts like they are prey. He's so fast about it, he has
them in his mouth before I can stop him.

Kira does it. I too, thought she was going after spiders first, Then
realized she didn't care about the spider. If the web is occuipied,
they better get out of the way. She wants the web. And she acts like
they are quite tasty.


Hee! Buddha too! Well, I hope they don't have enough calories to
ruin her diet.

My cat Buddha hunts cobwebs. (Not that they are hard to find around here!)
She eats them with great relish when she finds them. She patrols the house
and scoops them out from under dressers etc.

I have never seen a cat do this. What interests me is that I know that
spider webs (as many of you probably know, "cob" is an old English term
for
spider) have anticoagulant or anti-clotting properties. I guess it has
something to do with the function they serve for the spider.

The interesting thing is that she has hyperthyroid (controlled with pills)
and some sort of heart condition that causes arythmia (controlled with a
beta blocker). The vet told me that hyper-T cats often "throw clots" as he
put it.

Though it seems a stretch, I wonder if this is a case of her craving what
she needs. Anyone else have a cobweb-eating cat?



She's trying to tell you to get off the usenet and clean your trailer.
