The female of some species eats the male after copulating.

Also, most Spiders are cannibalistic because they become territorial. Many spiders, gender notwithstanding but mostly females, eat spiders of other species as part of their regular diet. At least one Family of spiders specializes on capturing and killing other spiders.

Yes. Such ants are ka killer ants. They're so called, because they kill much larger prey. Perhaps the best known are the army and driver ants of the Americas, and the Old World army ants. The former kill by their sting, the latter by their razor-sharp mandibles.

Just like any other animal or living thing capable of thought or free will, the behaviors and actions of a cat may vary.

Cats can be fascinated by smaller objects they can toy with, like balls of yarn or smaller animals. While harmlessly playing with spiders, cats may intentionally or accidently injure or kill them, in which case cats do kill spiders.

On an opposing hand, cats may become aggrevated or intimidated by the look, bite, or movement of a spider, or have some other desire to get rid of it ("for fun"), and may kill it intentionally, in which case cats do kill spiders.

On a further opposing view, some cats don't have any desire to toy with, aggrevate, or kill spiders, in which case cats do not kill spiders.
