The cat-faced spider (Araneus gemmoides) may be described as having a large abdomen with four pin-sized holes.

The spider is harmless. It is called cat-faced because of the patterning of the dimples, holes or indentations on its abdomen. The pattern often is interpreted as reminiscent of the eyes and ears of a cat.
