minus-squareSabata@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-210 days agoMy orange biting teleporter escaped one night. She went back home quietly, but damn if I wasn’t scared for the cat. She wasn’t too mean unless you opened her hut.
minus-squareLemminary@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-210 days agoYour what biting spider?? Spider: [Teleports behind your cat] Nothing personal, kitty.
minus-squareSabata@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 days agoYou see, she was orange, pissed at the world, fast, and some how opened the lid.

minus-squareSabata@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-210 days ago50/50 from my experience. She would either ambush from her hiding spot, or stand on hind legs and show off fangs if enough room.

You sure about that?
50/50 from my experience. She would either ambush from her hiding spot, or stand on hind legs and show off fangs if enough room.
