Something about the body shape doesn't look quite right to me for it to be a cockroach, but honestly it's been a really long time since I saw one so I could be wrong.

Not a roach. Probably one of the many Assassin Bugs, similar to this one in the link. Most of them eat other insects.

Thank You! I was a bit worried there! It looks exactly like the bug in the picture! I think my cat brought it in - she's always bringing in bugs!
