Cat Worms

Cats And Spiders

Q: Can my cat get sick from eating brown widow spiders?

A: Brown widow spiders are poisonous, and a bite from a spider to your cat may be a problem, as the venom will go straight to the blood stream. If your cat eats a spider, then the venom will eventually enter the blood stream although the cats stomach acid should destroy the venom. Black widow spiders are a bit more of a problem as they are more aggressive, and will be more likely to bite your cat before your cat bites it.

Really speaking the problem is more about spiders than cats. Although widows are quite prevalent in certain areas throughout the U.S., it doesn't mean that they should be tolerated. The spiders are a threat to humans as well as animals, so what needs to be done is the eradication of the venomous arachnids. Consult a specialist, and the worry of the cat's safety will be reduced.
