So many people have arachnophobia, especially when it comes to tarantulas. I have a phobia of cockroaches. Specifically the big ones. Just seeing one makes feel nauseous and get chills all over. I’ve trained my cat that when I see one I can say “Get the bug!” and he’ll usually come squish it for me (then he gets treats). So, that’s a very good spider. Very pretty girl, too.

I want a cat so badly but I need to figure out if it's even possible where I'm living now and I need to overhaul my bedroom & get rid of a lot of stuff to make space first, find a safe spot to keep my beloved amaryllis so the cat can't get poisoned by it, and separate my art/craft supplies for safety/so they dont get broken... But the potential of getting a cat that will dispatch bugs that find their way into my room is actually big motivation to get things sorted 🤣. I'm not ordinarily scared of a lot of bugs, but when certain things come flapping into my room at night and flying directly towards my face it triggers a primal fight or flight response and insane nightmares about them that feel fully real until I wake up 💀. Having a furry friend to take care of the problem would be amazing for my health since I'd not get the adrenaline rush & associated sleep problems 😫

@@DaniCal1forn1a you can do some research for a breed that fits your liking! Personally, american shorthairs are my favorites, but there are so many to choose from

@@DaniCal1forn1a When you’re ready to get a cat, I’d recommend going to a shelter and talking to them about what you want. They know the cats they have really well and can direct you to the cats that would best suit your needs (I used to work at a cage-free, no-kill shelter. That’s exactly what I did). Also, the way I trained my cat to get bugs was 1) using wand toys and making them move like bugs as best I could. 2) when he would pounce on a bug I would enthusiastically say “Get the bug! Good boy! Get the bug! You’re such a good kitty! Get the bug!” over and over. 3) After he got the bug, I’d give him a high value treat like a little bit of lunch meat or leftover chicken. After a while I gave him cat treats, and after a while of that I could just tell him he’s a good kitty and pet him and rub his ears. Repeating the phrase you want to use is key. My cat usually learns a new word or phrase that way just doing that once. He knows a ton of words and phrases now. Cats can be trained like dogs, you just have to bribe them a little better than you would a dog, lol.

@@Annie_Annie__ Thanks for all the helpful info and tips on training! 😊 I've known cats _can_ be trained but didn't know exactly how, although it makes sense it's similar to dogs but needs a higher incentive for them 🤣. I've always planned on going to a shelter/rescue to adopt when I do get to a point of having a pet 😊 as cute as kittens are, I'd rather get a cat that the staff know the quirks and personality of well - and older cats tend to have mellowed out a bit. Because while I'd love a cat that wants to be around me a lot, I couldn't handle one that needs my undivided attention 24/7 and can't cope being on their own at all - I have hobbies & interests that are absolutely not safe to do around animals because of chemicals, power tools, dyes etc. and I want to still be able to do those things knowing the cat would be chill and fine away from where I'm doing hazardous things 😅. I feel like that's hard to tell with kittens 🤷🏼♀️
