My hubby has never really liked the snakes. He deals with them being in the house and allows me to have them without complaint but he won't touch or go near them. Tonight, I was reading through the forums here when my cat came tearing into the living room and nearly gave himself a concussion chasing a small black thing behind the bookcase. It turns out, one of our outdoor mice decided to come inside (mistake with 3 cats, 1 foster cat, 2 dogs, and plenty of snakes in the house). Once I caught the little guy, my hubby looked at it and said, "Bet Kitai would have fun with that," and was grinning while he said it! Now I just need to get him to touch a snake...
For anyone concerned, however, the mouse has been turned loose back outside. I don't kill things without reason and don't feed wild-caught prey to my guys.
