Cat owner draws spider for pet to find in notebook and it works a treat

A cat named John was left seriously confused after trying to attack a spider – not realising it had been drawn on a page by its owner.

The funny Reddit video shows the feline desperately pawing at the spider drawing on a notepad.

He starts by using his left claw but changes to his right when the tactics don’t work.

John even tries to bite the pesky drawing but – obviously – that doesn’t work either.

Eventually, the baffled cat resorts to a good old evil stare before the clip comes to an end.

The video has received a whopping 23,000 upvotes since being shared on the social media site this morning.

Uploader u/nicepants_836 captioned the clip: “I always make sure to draw spiders when my work is being supervised by John.”

Hundreds of viewers flocked to the comments section to voice their thoughts, with one writing: “His little confused head tilt is so cute.”

Another commented: “Precious boy protecting you from the creepy-crawlies.”

A third gushed: “I love the look he gives it at the end like ‘Fine, looks like you win this round spider.’

“‘If only you had a third dimension…"

And a fourth joked: “He just really wants to murder a bug.”

It is not the first time cats’ antics have left Reddit viewers in stitches.

Footage emerged earlier this week of a pair of cats hilariously fighting over absolutely nothing .

And another feline was filmed freaking out over a ball to leave viewers convinced it was “broken”.
