Comments & ID Thoughts
Guessing this is another Arizona Recluse, but hoping I'm wrong. This one was found in my parent's house...where my cat lives! More specifically in a not often used guest bathroom. Spider is about 1" with legs extended.

It’s a recluse, and it’s so leggy compared to my local L. reclusa! Genus Loxosceles is right. In the Tuscon area, it could also be L. sabina, L. deserta, or L. apachea. Would require microscopic examination of the pedipalps to distinguish species.
Oh dear. Thanks for the ID, I’ll let my parents know! I know what you mean about the legs…I was crossing my fingers that this was too big to be a recluse.
