Turns out, it's a spider, or camelback, or cave... cricket!!!! Tried to catch it or kill it, but noooo.... my wonderful cat just has to chase it and lose it... right under my bed!
Just a cricket? HELL NO, these things are DISGUSTING!!!Plus...
"Another unique feature of thiscricket is that they jump randomly and are morelikely to jump at you than away from you. It is believed this is due to how they see. Their visionis such that it appears to them they are movingaway from it's predator but in fact they are movingtowards it. Some people speculate this has leadthe species to appear to be attacking which inturn chases away would-be predators. Whatever thereason, keep in mind they cannot bite or sting.Even still, having a large unusual insect jumpingat you will probably feel disconcerting." http://www.bugspray.com/catalog/products/page421.html
