Cats and Tarantulas

[cavelle]

Does anyone know what were to happen to a cat if it got bitten by a tarantula? I've looked all over the internet and never really got an answer.

Depends on the species of tarantula but generally speaking if an adult cat is bitten, it will not result in serious complications. If a kitten gets bitten, that is more likely to result in complications. What you should be more concerned about is the tarantula getting torn apart by the cat. I had the misfortune of losing a baby tarantula to my cats because they managed to knock over the tank and get inside.
