The cat just brought me a present...

[WinchesterWars]

I was working at the computer when our lovely old cat came for a cuddle. I duly obliged and, after I’d encouraged him to growl at the joggers out of the window (it’s our hobby), I put him down and sent him happily on his way. As I carried on working I felt a tickling on my right boob – I know I don’t need to be so specific as to side but I want you to imagine the full horror of the situation because it was A SPIDER! CRAWLING! ON! MY! BOOB!
I don’t know what happened first: me screaming like a 5-year-old (sorry not sorry), the spider staring at me reproachfully as I launched it into the air (it hit the monitor screen and promptly disappeared which is a nightmare for another time), or my husband running up the stairs with our spider-catching kit (he just knew).
The bloody thing must have dropped off the cat, right? Because I absolutely refuse to live in a world where spiders can spontaneously appear on random parts of your body.
So, AIBU to never pick the cat up again without donning full protective gear? Or waiting till my husband’s around to give him a full body/fur check? I mean, what the hell else is he going to dump on me (the cat not my husband)?! And I can’t re-home him because then the spider wins (again, cat not hubby).

Could it have dropped from the ceiling? Spiders seem to love doing that! My mum used to say spiders don't like the smell of us so will stay away, bollocks! Spiders love the smell of me! Bleargghh!

I had a spider crawl over me in bed once. I leapt up, it run off but I didn't see where it went. I slept on the sofa that night 😯

I had one drop in to my lap in the car when I put the sun visor down last week

Not sure how I didn't crash the car in the panic that followed!

Awwww....he brought you a present.

Perhaps it was simply hitching a ride on the cat and you dislodged it. Who knows where it was headed....

Poor thing, journey disrupted and involuntarily head butted a screen.

Poor kitty. Spider hitching a ride on him mustnt have been fun for him either. I love you can get him to growl on command though!

Oh god, I really did think it must have come from the cat but now I'm going to have to inspect every ceiling I walk under, aren't I. I know I started this thread but all your stories are giving me the heebie-jeebies!

I wrapped myself in a warmed towel after getting out the shower and a large spider ran up my thigh. Will never forget the feeling of the little legs digging in

I always check both sides of the towel now just in case.

Our lovely wee nan brought us a were headless rabbit the other day
