so today i showed my fresh shed to cat #1 and after about 5 seconds of heavy smelling she kinda pulled her head back, her hair bristled, and she sat there with her mouth half open making wierd little noises. i did the same thing with cat #2 and got the exact same reaction... i retested over and over and pretty soon i had both cats following me around the house mewing.
anyone else ever done this? the shed was still sticky it was so fresh.
i'm thinking maybe they look at snakes as a nature enemy or maybe just an impedance on their territory? it was definitely odd... they look at the snakes through the cage glass all the time without any reaction except bored curiosity.
