Did the cats kill this snake or did the chickens or the guinea fowl? Regardless I love my critters!!! |
This is a copperhead. The cats were eating remnants of a copperhead snake!!! |
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

Gross, gross, gross! Yay cats!
ReplyDeleteDo your guineas actually kill snakes. Mine never did, they were funny idiots, but they would gather and stare at the snake. So you knew there was a snake that way. Then again we don't have copperheads, just jingle worms (rattlesnakes).
ReplyDeleteyikes. glad for whatever killed it.. least it couldnt get to you~!
ReplyDeleteWe have had cats who killed snakes. Expertly. And the same cats also 'killed' the vacuum cleaner tubes if I left the suck monster out.
ReplyDeleteOMG. I love cats and this is the best reason ever to have them!!
ReplyDeleteWell done who ever did the deed.

Now you have me wondering. I have seen my chickens running with a dead snake and I have seen my cats take a dive into the bushes after a hissing noise but I have never actually seen my guinea fowl attack a snake though I have heard they are supposed to kill snakes.

I guess I won't find out about the vacuum hoses because my cats are all outside.

It is one good reason for sure.

ReplyDeleteYes it was a job well done.
I love me my cats. They do go after snakes, and they leave us mouse/rat presents at our door.
ReplyDeleteI try to capture any snakes that look non-poisonous before my cats get a chance to kill them.
I also try to capture any Bufo mirinus toads because they can be dangerous to pets.
Seriously, Florida is place filled with wildlife that you don't want to confront.
You are having some critter invasions! Next, sic them on the wasps!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know cats would go after snakes. I am going to have to get myself a cat!!
ReplyDeleteOh myyyyy!
ReplyDeleteStreuth Annie! I've never even seen a snake other than on telly, think I'd have hysterics!
ReplyDeleteCats are epic!
I hate snakes, and as far as I'm concerned the only good snake is a dead snake. I have a real phobia about them. And more particularly since my much beloved cat, Ruska was taken by one when I lived on Hinchinbrook Island.
ReplyDeleteWow. I sure don't envy the cats their breakfast "treat". :-p
ReplyDeleteLooks like your critters have a bit of mongoose in them-
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Can the cats really kill a snake? That's amazing!!! Wow!
