Our cat brought a greasy rat home the other night. She had killed it but done nothing else to it. It was just lying there near the back door. Its a good job my wife didnt see it before she went to work. She hates top hats. lol

Um, top hats? Is this some sort of local slang I'm unfamiliar with?

Okay, that spider is big! I have seen these in my yard. One day I was working in the garden and nearly put my head in a web, not realizing it was there. It kinda freaked me out when this spider moved! I also get them making webs from the washline to the trees. (first 3 photos) The last photo is one I found online of a man with a wolf spider on his back. I would go out of my mind with that thing!

I would totally freak out if one that size was on my back, or anywhere on me. I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it. lol.
