OH HAI! (more pics)

Just a few opinionated, judgmental comments on your post .

1. I dont think its a bad thing for people to make comments on a post that dont 100% agree with the OP. However, I do agree things could have been said with a little more tact.

Agreed. I still find there to be no reason to go off track with negative comments, but people can say what they want and that's fine.

2. I will say, I have personally never had an outdoor cat, but I have had friends that do. Outdoor cats hunt and seem to be great catchers of birds, reptiles and rodents; and Ive never met a cat that was smart enough to know the difference between a wild animal and a pet.

Perhaps, and cats are curious creatures, but not all cats are like that - as he stated, his cat is lazy and finds no interest. Generally if a cat finds no interest in an animal, there is little threat. They know what they like and cats are individuals. For example, my cats really like geckos, in that i want to eat you sort of way. But they find much less interest in the snakes.

3. As I said before, I see it as similar to people who house two ball pythons together. I bet on most posts when they post pics, one of the first questions people ask is why are they risking it.

I personally do not think it is worth the risk, but that may be because Ive had a similar thing go wrong before (ex: my sugar glider attacked my dog and did a decent amount of damage to one of his ears after 2 years of being fine around each other). I learned my lesson. Not worth it.

I think this is a bit different. Housing them together has more to do with being able to figure out who did what, as ball pythons are generally not cannibalistic, and if you call it risky due to the small chance of it, in comparison to this situation, I can see where you are coming from I suppose.


I guess I just don't see the point in negativity.
I don't see the point in creating conflict.
I try to remain optimistic, and if there are no current problems and risk is very low, I don't see what the big deal is.
