I’m a massive arachnophobe, my neighbour has a shed with sofas, music etc. Set up and I popped in earlier, even made a joke about how spiders always seem to find me – he said he cleaned it out earlier and got rid of webs etc. So I chill for a couple of hours
So fast forward and I’m in my house and one of my cats start pawing at the clothes I wore today which were on my bedroom floor, sloppy I know. For context shes rly good at finding them but not much else Welp I knew. I knew straight away and I was praying to the gods above it wasn’t a large one… spoiler- it is one of the ugliest and largest I’ve ever seen 😭😭
So I go get my cup whilst freaking cos yanno, can’t have him running around, and I trap him – great right?? Wrong! Because now I got chills running down my spine and shivers, and the threat of hyperventilating as this angry mofo is running around this glass in all it’s glory, all angry like.
I gathered my courage, nearly sent myself into a panic attack and moved all of the clothes, blanket I used outdoors and the offending visitor into the kitchen and shut the door 😭😭😭 can anyone help cos I’m freaking right out. What if there’s more, what if there’s one in my hair, what if it brought a whole army? I’m sat in bed, knackered but too scared to sleep
TL;DR: chilled in my neighbours shed, bought home a Large spider and am now too freaked to sleep 😭😭😭

Taking a shower helps me in these situations, like I can stop the creepy crawly feeling and put on new comforting clothes. Is there someone you can call to help with the spider in the kitchen? If not, a vacuum is your friend.
I would change my sheets, put the clothes I wore into the wash with the old sheets, vacuum, and then take a shower if I were you. In reality it’s probably the only one from the shed, but maybe that helps you feel less paranoid.
What did your cat ever do to deserve that? 😭 I’m sure she’s good at more than finding spiders.
If your cat is good at finding them and has only alerted to the shirt, I think you’re safe. I have a cat that’s good at hunting palmetto bugs, and if there’s one in the room she’s on it. If your cat isn’t worried, you shouldn’t be either.
