Hogna
They are robust and agile hunters with good eyesight. They live mostly solitary lives and hunt alone. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some will wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow. Two of the Wolf spider's eight eyes are large and prominent, which distinguishes them from the Nursery web spiders whose eyes are all of approximately equal size.

My cats don't feel threatened; they just want to play with (and sometimes) eat them.
My cats find mine too! The one I posted caused my cat to arch his back and hiss. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/157...
