We are on the Sunshine Coast too and have seen so many snakes already both at home and out the roads. My kids are outside playing all the time and im so worried they wont see one and step on it, or like you, one of the animals will think its a toy!. I hope your kitten makes a speedy recovery.
My old cat got a snake (red-bellyblack)) and was bitten on the cheek - it swelled up like a golf ball. No AV but he was just fine!
I hope your kitten pulls through OK, maybe she's destined to be an indoor cat, speclally that close to the bush - that way she won't hurt any "good" animals.
thanks, the vet called at 6pm and said she was ok, talking lots and resting, they said she had gone down hill a little earlier in the day but was improving heaps!! she said she thought she could probably come home today!! YAY! definatley staying inside for a while, maybe all summer! she will hate it and i might have to let her out in the morning or something but id rather that than have her get bitten again! and im sure she wont learn from her mistake!!
