Nature and Feline Friday



Hosted by Comedy Plus

Two  creepy 8-legged Nature Friday stories


First from Kat and crew in New Mexico

You will NOT believe what happened on Monday! 
Mom and Pup went for a walk around the campground...


When suddenly Pup barked, “Stop!”


Mom was about to step on a beautiful, fuzzy tarantula!

Pup and Mom said he sure did have some fantastic camouflage
Aunty is giving you some pointers....

She would have been terribly upset if she had harmed the big, creepy crawly. Ha!

I’m happy to report I was inside, and out of harm’s way during the entire ordeal.  😹


❤️ Kat Your Feline Nephew


Dearest Nephews
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh no....as if creepy crawlers aren’t enough ......they are hairy too. 
Pup you are a great Desert dog w a fine sniffer.  Mom owes you a gazillion belly rubs for keeping her safe! 
  P. S. Kat
I HOPE THAT TARANTULA KNOWS HOW LUCKY HE WAS YOU WERE NOT HOT ON HIS FUZZY TUSHY.
Lovingly your Aunty HiC

  2. After all that, I feel itchy! I think I could live without spiders that are larger than a quarter. The only reason I'm so level-headed about them? I HATE MOSQUITOES and they are prime dining for spiders.

  6. That tarantula would give me the creeps. I do not like spiders. I leave them alone if they make a web out in the yard, but in the barn.......nope, have to knock em down because they go across the hall. No worse feeling than walking thru a web.

    happy weekend and Veteran's day

    Well, of course, I am one of those weird peeps who likes to see things like spiders and bugs - well-spotted Pup! It would have been a darn shame to have squishified that beauty. And Miss C - that B&W of the spider web is a gorgeous photograph!!! YAM xx

  8. We lived with the tarantulas when we lived in Oklahoma and we lived with scorpions when we lived in Missouri. I will take a tarantula any day but I'd keep my distance! Good work Pup! I love those webs that garden spiders create... works of art for sure!

  10. That would have scared me to pieces. No, just no.

    Kat is doing so well on his adventure. I'm so happy about that.

    Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

  11. How cool that they found a tarantula! It's good that Pup stopped his mom from stepping on it.

  12. I much rather see your work of art than see that hariy THING on the ground. before I read the story, I thought when I saw the photo and the words New Mexico, hope they are careful of rattlers and then when I read it I remembered Linda who lives in New Mexico talking about these hairy spiders and scorpions.... I am glad no pup or mom was harmed in the telling of this story. YOWSA! I would have ran faster than Pup could if I saw that.

  13. I'm not standing on the table, but I've got my face all scrunched up!
    I don't like spiders, not big ones not small ones. I try capture one's that I find inside of the house and release them outdoors, but my skin crawls.

  14. Yikes, the Dad here might not sleep at all tonight after seeing that!

  15. That tarantula will eat thousands of harmful insects, they are our friends.

  22. Oh those tarantulas are scary and can really make for BAD problems so good thing you saw it before it saw you! I think I'd prefer being inside the wheelie house instead of out where the BAD stuff can bite me........I do think that spider web is amazing though. WOWZERS!

    Hugs, Teddy

  23. We like spiders here, and wish there were more of them. We didn't see a single orb weaver web like the one in your picture this summer! We think people use too much pesticides on their lawns. Were glad to see they're surviving elsewhere.

  24. I think spider webs are the most amazing artwork ever! I love seeing them but not running into the webs or their residents. Hahah!
