007 Come to Spidey

[Handwriting is pretty shaky and ugly this time around.]

Do you think cats know they're cats? I wonder if animals are aware of what they are. Like us being aware we're humans. I'm pretty sure Pillow thinks she's human. What with her hogging the bed and laying her head on my pillow.

That's interesting, generally when arachnids raise their front legs they feel threatened. You say he does it to signal things to you?

[He keeps some distance between him and the spider but leans down so he's eye level with it, staring in thought. Chestnut eyes then traverse to Eriq.]

He does belong to the tarantula family, though, and they generally have strange behavior depending on the species..

If we can manage to teach him the mundane we might be able to teach him more advanced stuff, if his brain functions well enough. I'm not really all that sure of the capacity of a Goliath's intelligence.

I know people have conversations with gorillas now a days. So you can't always cross everything out of the equation. But I can't promise anything either.

[He smiles sheepishly before rubbing at the back of his neck in nervousness.]

Sorry, animal physiology has always been an interesting topic for me -- arachnids and insects included.
