  • This isn't a brown recluse, I'm pretty sure. Maybe some type of hobo spider.

  • Oops, wasn't logged in for comment above. No question, that's the culprit. Do they eat kitties?

  • It looks a lot like the hobo spider, or agressive house spider. Found in almost every home in North America, these spider are poisonous. One of the most dangerous spiders because of their readiness to bite. Although many of the bites they deliver are dry, or without venom. I'm not sure if it could kill your cats, but i would take the chance.
