Similarly one of my cats let out an almighty howl last week, and when I went to investigate I saw a spider sitting next to his paw -- my conclusion he had been bitten by the spider.
By capturing it I was able to look up the species to tell if I needed to rush him to the vet.
See: http://www.spiders.us/species/filter/california/ http://www.spiders.us/species/filter/california/ (also useful for human bites, I'm sure) Obviously change the state for yours.
Turned out spider was harmless, cat was fine!
