My cat is very interested in the snakes when they are in their enclosures, but she seem to have learned that what's in my hand isn't a toy. I can have her sitting right next to me and not care, but once I out them back, it's huntin' time!Just make sure your enclosures are sturdy and your cat can't knock them down or open them. If your worried about her while you're holding a snake, lock her in the bathroom, or in her designated play area if you have one.You may be able to teach her that snake aren't toys since she is still a kitten. You can train her that anything in your hand, or on your body, isn't a toy. If she tries to attack, blow in her face and tell her NO! If she's being good, pet her, tell her she's being good in a sweet voice, and give her a treat. Clicker training works as well with cats as it does with dogs!Also, don't buy toys that resemble a snake or strings. Buy feather toys and balls, my cat loves her turbo track!Make sure she knows that the snake room/racks/enclosures are off limits.
