Question o, dear what can i do

well whent to feed one of ny 1.5inch grammostola aueostriata and no sign of it in its box looked all over my spider room no sign so emptyed it all and still no sign must have gone walkes there a hole in one of the floor boards so i suspect it went down there
will it survive under the floor untill it molts to a adult ?
dont think they will be many house spiders that will eat her shes too big now and dont think they will be much food for her under the floor boards
husband will go mad if he knew hope it never turn up in the bedroom lol when iam at work lol will have to blaim it on the cat .
how fast do they grow ?
and would a bite do any harm to my cat if i never find it and it gets to the adult size and my cat spots it

It would be a few years before it got to adult size as their fairly slow growing.
Escaped spiders are normally found within a couple of feet of where they got out. Look in any small dark places that are really close by.

Tarantulas can do damage to cats if they bite them. For some reason cats are not good at taking the venom. However at 1.5 inch its unlikely to do as much damage as an adult spider but id try to avoid letting the cat into the room.

Look places that are warm and dark.
