So Who Has Cats and Snakes?
We recently got a rescue cat. Or kitten at current. It's really changing how we do things. At the moment, I now have the snake room closed at all times. However, I do want to eventually get her introduced to the room and its occupants. I would like to try and get her used to the animals so she doesn't see them as a toy or prey when I take them out.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks.

I don't mix cats and pythons during handling of the pythons. The cats' food bowl and litter box is in the snake room, as is their sunning spot. They aren't interested in the snakes unless I'm cleaning.
I don't let them close, but they are allowed to "supervise" as long as they maintain a respectable distance.
There's no need for them to interact. Doing so is just begging for trouble.

I have two cats, both are very curious about the snakes but especially Lola. I am weary about having my larger snakes out around the cats, but she can't stay away..i just think it's fun to watch...i dont think she aims to do any harm, but then again who knows cuz she's kinda crazy lol

Re: So Who Has Cats and Snakes?
Before I was forced to rehome my cat, I had her with my snakes. We all lived in the same room in my apartment (because that's what we had available to us). At first she got along great and kept her distance. I usually had her out or the snakes out, one or the other. However, one day I came home and she had knocked over a heat lamp trying to get on top of the cage to look at the snake in it. From that point on, I kept the snakes in my room and her out of my room when I wasn't home.
Some cats are really lazy and don't care, others (like mine) are very curious and want to play with the snakes. It's those cats that you want to be cautious of. Just watch your new kitten's personality and if she seems overly bold and wanting to mess with the cages, don't let her anywhere near the snakes.
