Well, almost – it was in the nearby orchard. Possum has upgraded his hunting skills from voles to metre-long snakes. So that’s great. Thanks beautiful boy.

O. M. G!!!!! Runnnnnnnnnnn!
Posted by Marianne | May 9, 2014, 4:08 pmConsidering M once put his hand through his bedroom window ‘escaping’ an imagined snake in the room, he did quite well. Shame we didn’t film it. The snake leapt in the air to escape Possum’s gigantic claws. Sweet dreams!
Posted by con jamón spain | May 10, 2014, 4:43 pmInteresting that you saw the cats staring – that’s how we spotted Possum and knew something was up…
Posted by con jamón spain | May 8, 2014, 9:45 pmWhen ever we have had snakes in our house our cats have been curious but wary. And can I just say the man of the house has stepped back and let this woman deal with the serpents!
Posted by Wendy Kate | May 8, 2014, 9:37 pmWHAT!!! In your house? That’s it, we’re leaving.
Posted by con jamón spain | May 8, 2014, 9:38 pmWhat’s more, ‘being wary’ was the last thing from Possum’s mind. Oh dear.
Posted by con jamón spain | May 8, 2014, 9:39 pmYes, we once had one hidden wedged behind a mirror in the living room. Only knew it was there as the cats were staring at the mirror. Husband handed me broom handle and backed out of the room…. 🙂
Posted by Wendy Kate | May 8, 2014, 9:40 pmDid he get it through the cat flap all in one piece?
Posted by ladyofthecakes | May 8, 2014, 9:16 pmWe watched lovingly as he crept up on a ‘vole’ by a tree stump and then got into an almightily wrestling contest with the snake. Why are cats interested in them??!!
Posted by con jamón spain | May 8, 2014, 9:22 pmThey wriggle about and appear uninterested. Perfect combo for getting a cat’s undivided attention…
