Comments & ID Thoughts
My cat has been chasing this spider all day, and I was curious about what kind of spider it is (also because my mom calls every spider a sac spider).

I think mom is right, it is a sac spider in the genus Cheiracanthium. There’s some debate over how medically significant these spiders are, if even at all. The general consensus these days seems to be that they’re really only of concern to those with venom allergies.

I am quite sure that is a black footed yellow sac spider.
