I had the pleasure of having a cat who I called my little witch kitty for six years. There's something magic about black cats. 🥹

I hope this helps ease some anxiety!!

From what I can see, that's just a lady orb weaver! Generally harmless, very shy. They'd rather flee from you than be aggressive. She just wants to eat some bugs.🙂

I love spiders - whatcha got?

I had this happen to me; several years ago at the Dallas Lovefield airport, a lady next to me asked if I could keep an eye on her laptop while she stepped away. I was happy to but also could not fathom asking someone I didn't know to watch my valuables.
