It looks the most like Araneus saevus. The closest spider we already have a sighting of from Montana is Araneus gemmoides. Since you think it resembles a Cat Face Spider, Araneus gemmoides, that’s probably the most likely answer. The scientific thing to do is call it Araneus spp. and let others weigh in. I’m glad that you explained why it is on a serving spoon. It is in the defensive posture with legs over the head.

The big guy has 2 horn likes points on it’s back. Which reminds me of a cat spider. My daughter found it in her bedroom
When I went to take a picture it was hiding from me moving it onto a severing spoon. When it started to crawl away it filled half the spoon.
