I have 5 cats and 9 snakes. Only two of the cats really pay attention to the snakes. One cat actually is really interested and enjoys the snakes being out. It's my 22lb big tabby that always wants to be near them when I have them out. He just sits and let's them slither over him or curl up by him. My two Maine coons on the other hand hunt them at any opportunity. Spray bottle almost aren't enough.
