Too much time with the cats?

I am wondering if I am being too influenced by the boys; since I am
with at least one cat at all times, at home and at work, there is No
Escape from their powerful mind control. I have noticed a positive
effect, though, and may consider going into the world domination
business myself.

For example, there is a giant spider that lives in my laundry room. I
am perfectly willing to have him live there, as long as he lurks in
the corner *far away* from the washer and dryer and eats bugs. For
several days in a row, however, I have gone into the laundry room and
seen him staring into space and humming to himself while a roach only
a little bigger than he is walked around **right behind him**. Last
night I finally lost my patience and yelled at him, calling him the
most useless giant spider I've ever seen. It had a good effect; a few
minutes ago I went in to the laundry room, and there he was, busily
wrapping the struggling roach. Good Spidey! I assume he wouldn't
care for a pounce, or I'd surely give him one.

I can only assume that the masters are rubbing off on me, and their
control of the lower human form of life allows the humans, in turn, to
affect even lower forms. Or perhaps the masters are working *through*
me, and I am a mere vessel. Actually, the latter is much more likely.

Yep, Krista, the next thing you know, you'll be catching flies for cat and
spider entertainment -- I do remember the Georgia bugs, and not fondly,
either.
Great story!

LOL! Good job! I can never get those little invertebrates to do what
I want. I had a spider that was quite adamant about making its home
in the tissue hanging out of the top of the tissue box. Every time I
used a tissue, I shook the spider on to the floor, but the next time I
went to get another tissue, the spider would be back! I finally got
exasperated with it and rolled it up in its tissue and threw it away.
Thus it finally got its wish to have a permanent home in the tissue.

I've had a tender spot for spiders ever since reading "Charlotte's
Web." There was a teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeny little one living in my dahlias
last year, until a big rainstorm washed it away. I thought, oh darn,
poor little spider. Then the next day, I saw a little spider on the
dahlia again, spinning away. I don't know if it was the same little
guy, but I thought, Well, there it is, the Eency Weency Spider
himself.

Probably a she... though I don't know for sure. Any experts like to
comment on that?
