Black Widow, Brown Recluse and tarantula spiders are severely dangerous. If you actually see your cat get bitten, take her to the vet right away. The site of the bite may be extremely painful. The cat may have difficulty breathing, develop a fever, and go into shock. Some spider bites will even lead to necrosis or abscesses without showing any acute signs at all. Immediate emergency care is very important, I can’t stress this enough.

I am surpised that a cat can live after a brown recluse bite. I was bitten years ago and had plastic surgery because of it.
