Due to the fact that some cats like to hunt prey in small, tight, sometimes dark and/or damp areas, their chances of coming into contact with a spider are pretty good. In most cases, random non-threatening spiders won’t bother your cat. However, there are the exceptions when a spider might bite a cat out of fear or as a defense mechanism. Spider bites are hard to identify, but if you know you have spiders in the area and your cat has an odd bite then you should notify your vet. Some cats may have no reaction to poisonous spider bites while other cats may show signs of muscle tremors, lethargy, pain, breathing trouble, high blood pressure, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. If your cat isn’t acting his usual self and appears to be sick or showing symptoms mentioned above, then take your cat to your vets clinic Tipp City OH for an exam, diagnosis and treatment.
