Good Cat..Lucky me

[Silver Crazy]

Pulled open the blind over the sliding glass door to go and take the trash out and go get some milk and the cat trying to be the first out the door suddenly recoiled and spat.
Looked down and there was a foot long brown snake coiled up on the black rubber mat outside the door.
Rained heavily last night and think it might have been washed put of its hole.
It was so cold and stiff it couldn't even uncoil.
Its in a pillowcase at the moment while I decide what to do with it..lol
Bit of a worry though having one living so close to the house.

I think your cat saved both your lives!!!
That'd be a tough call.

Yeah, you may have seen my posts about when we lived in the Mojave and I went up to the henhouse only to find a big Mojave Green (the most dangerous venom of all the rattlesnakes) in there with the south end of a big rat protruding from its stretched jaws. I hightailed it back to the house quick. Of course, (s)he was fortunately busy at the time.

I wouldn't have stayed around either..lol. Its the ones you don't see that worry me.

I had to google the brown snake. Said it's the most poisonous of Australia's snakes. You certainly do have a very good cat. Give him a treat.

He is still spooked and touchy...glad to know he has the right instincts and wont attempt to hunt or play with snakes and get himself bit.

One of the two most poisonous snakes on the planet, I've heard! That is a HERO cat!

Yeah..they are pretty nasty and in spring they are waking up hungry and aggressive.
Blue is staying inside next few days until i have done a good search around for any others..hopefully this one has come down from the forest at the back of the house and not a resident.
Blue is going to get a good dinner tonight...lol

Good cat indeed, wow, that's amazing. And good owner, for not ignoring their cat and stepping into disaster!
I'd say you BOTH earned a good favorite meal!

...and they look like such quiet, nice, good little snakes, too.

Thankyou but the snake was so cold and stiff I would have had to stick my toe in his mouth to get a bite..just more pleased the way the cat reacted.

If my cat had done that, I would buy her some organic salmon (her number one favorite food)

Released the snake this morning about a 15 minute drive from here on a creek bank with lots of logs and things around but the snake shot out of the pillowcase straight into the water..that didn't go as planned..lol.
Hope its ok.
Treid to get a pic but it was too quick..car heater warmed him up to much I think..lol
