Something spooked Chilli when she was in the litter tray last night, just heard this blood curdling shriek, a thud as she leapt and hit the roof of the tray and then she came screaming out bringing half the litter with her
Previously, when I was fostering, I had a hooded litter tray
On one (memorable) occasion Lucky, who was about 18 then and scared of very little, absolutely refused to use the tray, fur all standing on end. I had a look but couldn't see a thing. The tray was clean and tidy so I put it down to being just one of those things
Then when Gizmo, who was much younger, also "freaked" I had a better look and really wished I hadn't ....
A HUGE spider was sitting inside the tray, up under the lid bit. A real Great-Grand-daddy of the arachnid species.
Generally speaking, the more legs something has the less keen I am on it .... And I loathe big hairy spiders.....
They had to use another tray until I persuaded a friend to remove the spider ..... What a pathetic Meowmy!!!
