There I was, cooking dinner in the kitchen ( broccoli, organic plum tomatoes, mushrooms and spring onions with noodles in a salsa sauce with fresh chicken breast marinaded in ginger and lemon)
All of a sudden I see movement on the floor, to discover a big fat masssive humongous spider ( about the size of the palm of my hand) is sitting on the kitchen floor, camouflaging itself on the rug in front of the sink.
I am instantly aware of its evil plan!
When I turn my back it will jump on me and eat me!
Obviously, some very advanced tactical moves were a necessity here.
I withdrew myself into the living room so it could scuttle under the vegetable basket ( possibly to steal the onions to use them as stink boms)
So, heroic as I am, I click my tongue, by doing so, tricking my cats into thinking they're getting fed ( thanks Pavlov). I pick up one of them and throw it at the spider.
The cat just kinda looks at me and trots back up so she stands next to me again.
I pick up another cat, and throw it at the spider. That cat fails to see the spider as well.
At this point I realise the spider must have been watching Jurassic Park, and knows that predators don't see anything when it doesn't move.
Luckily, at this point, the spider decides to make a move for the onions.
BUT! It hadn't seem cat number 3!
Who quite happily jumped on top of the spider and ate it.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Take that evil eight legged freaks!
(ps: I didn't scream once during this whole episode)
