Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 13, 2022

He probably won’t hurt you, Fred.

You don’t like the creepy crawlies. Me neither, and that is a big one. You could squash it with your big basset paw and me with my foot, but they’re still EWW!

I would say it is more afraid of you than you are of it, but that is always a lie Fred. Let the cat handle it!

Well Fred, you could put your bowl over it and bark. I’m sure your Mum will lend you a hand to take it outside

This is a job for Garfield…

Fred spiders are everywhere, you just happened to see this one ! Stiff Upper Lip Time Fred ;-)

Spiders are harmless and beneficial to the environment.

Sheela would have eaten the spider.

My sister’s Samoyed would eat the thing, but only if her fat cat didn’t get it first.

My cat eats them after a good batting around. I can’t watch.

Spiders are good! Just remember that…

I feel sorry for people with arachnophobia. Doesn’t make sense to me. Spiders are amazing creatures!
