UGH! Look what the cat found

[Bogertophis]

Very good point. At the time I did find it odd the injury the snake had. From unfortunate past experiences with some lizards and a few geckos with the cat....I guess for lack of a better term, not the norm for her so to speak. The thing that makes me think the cat was involved was inside the house, I did find a few blood spots that were on top of a chair and a couple spots on the kitchen floor. Also she was acting weird when I got home also out of the norm for her. So I just assumed it was the cat, but you have got me thinking more about now

As I tried to say, I'm rarely on the side of cats, but when something like this enters your house (their territory), I think it's normal for them to act weird, even if all
they did was sniff near it. It could have made the snake panic & try to go thru something it shouldn't have without even touching it. If a wild snake ever got into my
house, I'm pretty sure my dogs would have acted a little strange knowing it was there, but they'd not have done more than look & back away too...they've seen me
holding snakes for years, & been allowed a sniff on the tail end, with no attempts to hurt them, & even a little fear (-my smaller dog). Snakes move differently than
lizards...cats (& many dogs) are far more interested in quick & jumping lizards, & get spooked a little by snakes. Not always...but this just doesn't look like "the cat
did it" to me?
