What a great story!

Pua and Tyrone chase and do the toe snatching thing as well; they're
absolute hoolikittens. They, like Tessie, grab for anything that
moves.
Thank goodness, though, because a 3 foot non-poisonous black snake
came
in
the house yesterday and they were *on* it. They chased it right
under
the
screen door! I was standing on a chair screaming hysterically on
the
phone
to my husband (who was laughing on the other end). I'm so glad I
have
boisterous kitties! They kill all bugs for me and chase out snakes.
Gotta
love 'em. :~)

Oh, geez I wish I had your non-venemous black snakes! Ours are around
1-2
m
and deadly.......want to swap?




Um, I don't think so! We've got plenty of poisonous ones as well. :~)

I just wish the poisonous ones here were bright pink, or wore a sign
or
something....it's pretty hard to tell at first glance whether they're
deadly
or not, as some of the greeny brown ones are deadly, and some of them
aren't....but you just don't exactly wait to find out, do you! Another
reason to keep cats inside in australia.....



I know what you mean; I don't let my cats outdoors either. One key about
snakes here in Florida is, if the snake has a head that is round or
straight, chances are it's not poisonous. If it has "cheeks", then it's a
viper. I don't know if it works the same way in Australia.

I wish!! Unfortunately they all look the same. Black snakes are tolerated as
they are mostly non aggressive and keep brown snakes away, as they eat them.
Brown snakes and taipans are the worst, as they're very agressive and hard
to spot. They can look like any little grass snake, and they blend into the
background.....urrgh
