Funny garter/cat story

[d_virginiana]

When I go off to school for the semester, I generally miss a lot of the shenanigans that go on with our animals, but my parents just told me last week about this one.

We have this giant, geriatric cat. He's almost 17 years old, and he typically just sits in one place for really long periods of time (his record is three days in one spot, moving only twice to go use the bathroom).
Anyway, apparently last year my parents went to pick him up out of the yard, and he had been there for so long that a young garter snake had actually crawled under him and curled up! The cat was awake and everything, I guess he just didn't feel like moving to get the snake.

Just thought that'd be fun to share since most cat and garter stories don't end happily. :)

This cat, taking walk's, he no like
there's just no way to get him to hike
I bet he would stay put
with a snake up his butt
and an imminent asteroid strike :rolleyes:

we used to have an old cat who ignored our beardie perching on him as well as the kingsnake curled up next to him - he was just not interested any more
then he died, and we adopted young cats, and they are very interested

My cats are also very interested. It is their form of entertainment, watching the snakes.

It might be but what they are thinking has nothing to do with entertainment.:eek::D

I am very aware of that. But my snakes seem to care less. Just like my frogs that are next to my snakes.:D In any event, they are very well protected from the furry stalkers.

My cat broke into my room and was trying to get into the baby's tank. When my mom realized that it wasn't me in the room, she quickly grabbed her and threw her out of my room. I don't think she's bothered coming in unless the door is open (and she gets in trouble for coming in anyways) My office and room are off limits to the furry pets, because I'm allergic to them, and they have tried to eat my snakes and frogs before.

awesome story! my old cat years ago wouldnt touch the snakes, but any mouse escaped, it ended up dead. =)

We have one cat that obsesses over the little animals. She refuses to go outside and has some sort of kitty OCD (seriously, she moves her toys into specific patterns on the floor each day, checks on them periodically, and flips out if they are moved even a little), so she just sits for hours at a time watching the snakes. That's half the reason I got my fiance to make a custom-fitted cage top for Houdini...
