This nightmare-inducing footage is guaranteed to make arachnophobes shudder - a cat playing with an enormous SPIDER.

Four-year-old Calico cat ‘Lele’ was in the bathroom when his owner, Sue Weng, heard him scratching around and went to investigate.

Sue was ‘’freaked out’’ after seeing the playful rescue cat toying with the massive 10-inch long arachnid - which had a stomach-churningly large two-inch long body and huge fangs.

The mother-of-two filmed Lele chasing the spider from one corner of the bathroom to the other where it tried to hide behind a plastic bin.

But the fearless cat dragged it out with its paw before picking it up with in his MOUTH - and flinging it in the AIR back to the other corner.

The injured spider - by now missing one of its large legs - scrambled for safety as it cowered on the ground before Sue dragged away her cat.

She said she was afraid that the cat would eat the spider at her home in Hsinchu, Taiwan, yesterday (Thu).

Sue said: ‘’This was a big spider and it really freaked me out. I was very frightened and didn’t know what to do.

‘’Lele is a rescue cat that we took in to our family home in May and he’s settled in well. This is the first time we’ve seen him play with spiders.’'

Sue pulled Lele out of the bathroom and closed the door. When she returned the spider had disappeared.

She believes it may have crawled away and died and hopes that it is not on the loose in her house.
