What the bloody hell is this creature in my outhouse?? [pic]

[CountryMummy1]

Just been outside the feed the cat who has his food in the outhouse. There, hanging from the old pipework are 3 absolutely huge cocoons. They are hideous! Black and more than 4 inches long. They weren't there yesterday. What the hell is going to come out? AIBU to be very worried?

About it being in AIBU

To be fair even if King Alfred had been paying attention and got the cakes out bang on time, I don't think he'd really got the whole baking thing sorted at all. Even cake coloured they wouldn't be GBBO material.

Ah yes, a spider cat. Well known breed that wraps it's mouse catches up in a muddy spidey cocoon to be consumed at a later date!

Why are we speaking of spider cats?

Get the cat and torch the outhouse. Seriously. Torch it. Now. Do it.

Have I missed the dissection? I'm agog

Moln...because you said ut was the cat wot did it. It was meant to be a joke, I obviously didn't hit the mark but nevermind.

Anyone noticed op not been on for ages...she did touch the thing....i bet the cats behind this....

Exactly they same thing appeared in my garage about a year ago. It ended up killing me.

I think Moln is on to something about the cat being involved.

Have you noticed all the 'aggressive cat' threads swirling about lately

I think OP has been eaten by the fungus zombie that burst out the slime pod

drop the bomb now! lets save ourselves!

Awww well done YouPoo thanks for volunteering!

So the OP has been swallowed by this thing?

It looks like the things from the movie cocoon :( I hope it doesnt grow as big.

Great pics OP, I was looking for something to threaten the DC with if they don't stay in their beds at night.

Oh crap, how many do you think they'll be by the time OP updates again?

Well.

Isn't nature wonderful?

If it is a King Alfred's Cake I believe survivaly/outdoorsy types use them as firelighters. I'm sure I saw Ray Mears use one once - think they store heat well whilst you're trying to get a fire going. Bit off topic I know....

OMG. ...need to know what it is !!

Hold the fucking phone moln they can fucking move? Where's those cuddly moths - I want that instead!

What is it???

Either fungus or gremlin pods.

Ah PeaceOfWildThings you see I thought they might be an Actual Thing.

Felt slightly panicked I might return home and discover my cat had grown four extra legs and there be many giant black pods about the house.

OP. How many legs does your cat have? Have you counted lately?

DH says send a pic to your local wildlife trust - they will be fascinated and will tell you what it is (or rush round to collect it )

I agree with pp that suggested the thing from jeepers creepers
