Do Cats Eat Spiders?

猫吃蜘蛛吗?


Do cats eat spiders?


Our answer? Yes, they do. And that’s not all cats will eat. Cats, both domestic and wild, are obligatory carnivores, meaning that they don’t have the chemical tools in their bodies to access nutrients from plants. They have to eat material from other animals to meet their nutritional 1 needs.


But that doesn’t mean your cat won’t try to eat something non-animal. Cats will try to eat plants, and when they have difficulty digesting them they’ll vomit 2 them onto your carpet.


Some plants are in fact poisonous to cats and should be kept out of their reach. Kittens like to play with string and yarn 3, but if you don ’t watch them they may accidentally swallow some of it, which can lead to gastrointestinal obstruction and a need for surgery.


Yes, many cats will eat insects and spiders. Typically this appetite won’t cause them any harm, unless it’s a poisonous spider they’re batting around and dragging with their teeth. Cats do get bitten by poisonous spiders, and they suffer from the consequences of the toxins.


If you think your cat has been poisoned, whether by a spider, a plant, or a chemical like a household cleaning product, you should seek veterinary attention immediately. If that’s not possible, call a poison hotline that specializes in cats and dogs. They can also advise you in the matter.







猫吃蜘蛛吗?


我们的答案是“是的,猫吃蜘蛛”。但不是所有的猫都吃蜘蛛。不论是家猫还是野猫都是食肉动物,这就意味着它们不能从植物当中摄取营养。因此它们必须吃其它动物来满足这种营养需求。


这也并不意味着你的猫只吃肉。猫会尝试吃植物,如果吃的东西不好消化,可能会吐到你的地毯上。


有些植物猫吃了会中毒,所以不能让它们接触到。小猫喜欢玩绳子和纱线,但如果不小心看管,它们也许会吞下一些绳线,从而导致肠道阻塞甚至需要做手术。


是的,有些猫会吃昆虫和蜘蛛。这通常不会造成伤害,除非是它们用牙齿吃的毒蜘蛛。猫会被蜘蛛咬伤,并会受到毒素的伤害。


如果你的猫中毒了,不论是由蜘蛛,植物或是化学植物引起的,你应该马上找兽医。如果不可能的话,给专门医治猫狗的地方打电话。他们可以提供相关帮助的建议。
