They were great pets - easy keepers, just throw in a thawed mouse once a week. When they escape, they always went to the same place, a dark drawer (unfortunately her sister's underwear drawer). Best reason:MIL refuses to stay in a house with snakes. When daughter left for college, I kept the snakes.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613890024247909200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040486715126429420.post-35468424774251664992018-01-11T20:51:28.746-06:002018-01-11T20:51:28.746-06:00Ashbutt is a dog in catskin... :-DAshbutt is a dog in catskin... :-DOld NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040486715126429420.post-4190405299943877552018-01-11T11:19:26.339-06:002018-01-11T11:19:26.339-06:00Suz - yeah, cats may not speak words (at least mos...Suz - yeah, cats may not speak words (at least most cats), but they certainly get the point across with pointed looks!And it's hard to sleep through an alarm clock that decides they're going to groom you and purr loudly, and flat jump on your bladder when the former two don't work...<br /><br />Orvan - hah! I hadn't heard of a snake doing that before, but I am not surprised!On a Wing and a Whimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754595334684845895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040486715126429420.post-54415725387950507742018-01-11T10:09:22.391-06:002018-01-11T10:09:22.391-06:00A group I know of has a snake or three.

One of them related that they had been all sitting on a couch, watching TV and petting a snake draped across their laps. One of them stopped to do something or other (look up something in a guide, fiddle with remote, take a drink... something).. and the snake's tail came up, wrapped a bit around her wrist and guided it back to the petting position.

My kitty has always been able to communicate either by sitting there looking at you, or just yowling appropriately. Cat is the only alarm clock I ever had that doesn't have a snooze button. He really hates it when you sit in any chair that he is claiming that day.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117433684554337583noreply@blogger.com
