sure. it's basically just a mishmash of cat and giant cave spider. and prob'ly needs a better name...

feel free to take the [TRAINABLE] tag out. it was an experiment to see if war trained vermin hunters would shoot webs at vermin (they don't). and the 8eyes body style is from the genesis mod, so you may want to replace it with [BODY:SPIDER:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH] for vanilla

I have crossed a cat and a normal cave spider, but i think that would be nice if someone can add real fur in the right place for details

How can I keep the cats from chewing on the cave spiders and breaking all the webs?

I create cat pastures in rooms with pet-forbidden doors.

Three back-to-back tightly closed doors will keep most cats from escaping when dwarves come in to remove the ones slated for slaughter.

Whenever new cats are born you need to add them to the pasture or they will all pile up in a huge pile next to the tightly closed doors, and eventually start fighting each other.

A nice 10x10 cat pasture will hold as many cats as the current code will allow to be born without having them fight each other too much.
