No animal was harmed during this event. The snake was humanely removed from the living area and returned to the wild.
That's great!

(3,466 posts)shows such an overt and deeply caring display of love and concern for you? My poodle Betty was a crazy-good bird hunter and she dropped dead birds at my feet many times. Unfortunately, every single time I didn't see it before I put my foot down from the couch to stand up and stepped on it...EEEWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, but even with the ick factor, it's amazing to be the recipient of such an act. I will never understand people who don't view animals as sentient beings with souls and minds and hearts.

(114,615 posts)and she was not a small cat. All I can think is that it was an old squirrel and suicidal. I had seen her jump from roof to roof along a line of triple deckers chasing them, so it was only a matter of time.
So I gave her abundant praise until she was ready to come in and I could remove the corpse.

More unfortunately, he liked to bring them to us on pride rock; otherwise known as our bed.

(38,726 posts)Is that how that one is spelled? .....I learned very early that they are totally harmless, if that is the snake this is....I don't know, the shadow knows...

I walked to a creek and let it go, then had to deal with my cat the rest of the night, outraged that I had confiscated his toy
