Unusual Visitor



Goro and Niko are looking out of
window very intently.


What is it? Deer? Big bird?
I don't see anything.


But guessing from the size of Niko's tail...


It must be something very unusual.



What, Goro?

Oh, my gosh! It's a snake!


This snake looks kind of aggressive.


And making Niko's hair stand on end.


 Niko is out now.


Snake left, too.


Goro wanted to play with it a little longer.


If Goro was an outdoor kitty, 
maybe he could make friends with it.

(Or eat it.)

And Niko...

I'm glad he is an indoor kitty now.

Whoa, a snake! Niko, look at your bottle-brush tail! Wow!

We had an eastern milksnake in our enclosed garden last year...the mom didn't know what kind it was until after the fact, when she had a chance to Google. That was after she had to get us in the house, away from it, and get it out of our back space. LOL. THAT was an adventure!

Maybe your Mr. Snake will return -- we can only hope!

We're thankful we really don't have snakes here. Bugs yes. Snakes no. We think the Mommy would run away screaming like a little girl if she ever saw one.

OMC! A snake! Niko, that bushy tail will scare that snake away for SURE. Goro, we don't know if snakes taste good because our mean Mommy always takes them away from us, something about rattlesnakes being poisonous, blah, blah, blah.

Daisy said...

OMC, a SNAKE on your WINDOW?!?!?! Whoa! Niko, your tail is very impressive.

Admiral Hestorb said...

Niko! That is THE most bottle brush tail I have ever SEEN! You are so impressive!!!

Mr Snake is an old smarty pants talking that way to you!

Brian said...

Cara n Crew said...

OKcats said...

We have NEVER seen a snake on a window like that, and we hope we never do. We'd have to get a new mom if that happened - she'd die of fright! Niko, your poofy tail was VERY fierce - nicely done!

orchid said...

Wow, SNAKE☆☆☆
Haha, enjoyed heving a visiter? I don't think it is yummy、Goro.
Oh, I hate to see one. I once had seen a little one outside of my house. Scary, and even worse we have centipedes visits sometime(^^;)

Father Tom said...

Goro and Niko,
Be glad you were on the inside of that glass! How scary is that! You really had us wondering at the beginning, but we would never have guessed it was going to be a snake!

Hugs,
Tom

Yikes! A snake! We think we'd stay away from that thing.

Sparkle said...

Cat-from-Sydney said...

What an exciting life you two have. The only snake I've seen are the ones on TV. har har har *evil laughs*

Cat said...

Oh my gosh, Niko's tail is like a bottle brush!!! Sometimes Ben's goes like that because he is a big scaredy-cat.

Spitty-the-Kitty said...

Wow! Niko's tail is sooooo impressive! Even floofier than mine gets and mine gets really floofy!

A snake? I'm so envious! I have never seen a snake, let alone as up close and personal as you got. He was rather cheeky, though, wasn't he?

chancythegardner said...

We would be bristling out our tail too if we saw something like that on our window...nervy snake he was. Hugs and nose kisses

Snakes are not good but we kitties here do kill them. We are very careful not to get bitten. But that was fun playing with that silly snake. All of you have a really fun day.

michiko said...

Enjoy with your mom.

Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

meowmeowmans said...

Wow, that snake was pretty brave, coming on your window like that! We are glad it was on the OUTSIDE of the window, though. :)

Niko, that tail of yours sure is impressive!

Clooney said...

Wow, my boys! That was pretty exciting seeing a snake that up close! Good tail action Niko! Have a great week boys!

Catherine said...

Oh my stars ~ that is a little creepy having that snake crawl across the window! Good thing you kitties were nice and safe in the house. And that was sure some fluffy tail action!

Dearest Tamago,

Wow, what an encounter and such a small chance to get it all on camera too! Would this be the Eastern Garter Snake? One of the most common snakes out of 41 native species here in Georgia and they are active during the day.
Ill tempered, so Niko must have known that. His bushy tail said it all.

Tomorrow I will have a post about a snake too; one of our felines did bring it into the stair case area...

Lots of love,

Mariette

Oskar said...

Wow that's scary to have a snake so close. I'm glad it didn't bite you!

Nubbin wiggles,
Oskar

lunakitty said...

OH my kitty, I was not expecting a snake! They look like they'd make nice tails though. :)
Meows!

How strange that the snake had climbed up the side of your house! Looked rather large too!
