I have 1 8 year old cat and 3 kittens. They dont really care for Lily, though they like to sit on top of her cage. Whenever I have her out they care more about my hand than the snake on it. The two younger ones will actually let her sit on them while they sleep. Once Garbage(oldest kitten) was sleeping and I put the snake on him and he woke up, looked at her, looked away, did a double take and jumped 3 feet and fell off the table! Cats are weird. Anyway, just make sure you have tank clips and supervise the snake when its out of its cage.
