From: "Horn, John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>I wonder if the reason I've never seen one is my cat devours them before I see 'em? That didn't occur to me, but it's perfectly possible. Then again, we haven't seen any spider parts lying around, so who knows?

Oh, I know they are nasty. I think the point of the article (I need to see
if I can find the link) was that recluses bites are much rarer than
generally thought.

No, not at all. Sometimes they make good cat toys though...
I'll never forget the time I was sitting on the couch and my cat, Oliver,
was playing with something on the other side of the couch. He was having a
wonderful time jumping around and pouncing. I thought he was playing with a
rolled up piece of paper (his favorite toy) or a milk carton ring or
something like that. Eventually, I looked over and he was playing with a
huge brown recluse. He'd managed to rip off three of the things legs. I
still can't believe he didn't get bitten. I managed to pull the cat away
and kill the spider. It took a long time for the cat to calm down and relax
from that hunter's high!
