Snakes and cats...

[angelaartsstudent]

Am not 100% sure a cat would be stupid enough to even bother sniffing a sleeping python...luckily they're pretty still when their not eating.

I've lost 2 dogs to snakes, but never a cat....but I'd probably wait a few hours for snakey to move on. However, if he looked like he's digesting a feed I would let kitty out, becuase snake is pretty much going to do nothing! :-D

depends on how big the snake is I suppose... We live in the bush and have some whopper snakes here and my cat and dog are still alive and they are fulltime outside pets.

Thanks girls... As soon as the birds started going off, both cats ran inside and refused to go back out until the birds calmed down, so I'm relieved about that.

No more sightings thus far and the boys are running around outside

speaking of snakes, * shudders * how's the brown snakes swimming around the floodwater's in Rockhampton. I'd be a bit scared to go to sleep just in case I had an extra something in my sheets in the morning :O

Oh I know... Make me shudder just thinking about it

Cats love snakes, so much fun chasing their lovely slivering tails! My cats are all outside except the new kitten and we live on acres so I am relieved every night when they return home to the nest for bed. I figure that they love being outside so i can't keep them in, but I fear snakes so much... if I knew there was a snake actually in the vicinity though I would keep them inside.

I've had two cats and both got bitten by brown snakes (costly!) - so yes, cats DO tend to play with snakes, unfortunately!
