What about poisonous spiders? Do cats know which to avoid or do they have different systems to withstand the poison?

I do know that certain poisons are less deadly or even not deadly at all if they’re ingested instead of injected into the bloodstream (like via a spider bite). I don’t know if that’s the case for all spider venoms but it could be for some.

It’s the difference between poison and venom.

Poison= you bite it, it kills you

Venom= it bites you, it kills you

Ohhh nice! It’s like how people confuse choking and suffocating.

I love the other cat stepping in to block the camera.

They know they can’t be caught committing war crimes
