Spiders can be dangerous for cats especially if they bite your cat. Black Widows can be the most dangerous. Know your area and what types of spiders are in your area. Make sure you have your home treated for spiders especially if you have pets. If your cat comes to you with a new insect bite and is scratching at her ears, or shaking her head, or the bite has swollen and is covering a lot of area on your cat, please call your vet right away. Whatever the bite, your cat needs treatment right away. Any type of extreme reaction to a big bite or spider bite will require immediate vet care from an emergency facility. Treatment could be as basic as a topical ointment and pain medication to hospitalization to monitor your cat and ensure there are no other bites.
