Do you think KIKI knows that snakes
can bite?

Cloudhands said...

Well, maybe. She didn't go very close.

I assume that isn't a poisonous snake??

We've only really got two snakes in the UK, and they are more afraid of us and slither away - hopefully! One can give a nasty bite, but rarely fatal.

But I know the USA is different - so I do wonder!

Cloudhands said...

Oh no, black snakes are not poisonous. This fine fellow is a very worthy small animal pest control. We also have heard that they keep the poisonous snakes away. We sure hope so because there are poison copperhead and rattle snakes in this part of the country. Never see them, only Mr. Black.

I like your Mr. Black! Kiki is one wise kitty to keep his distance! Not that a snake his size could ever eat a cat that size, eh?

I kind of like snakes--the garden variety type--unpoisonous, that is!

Beth,
Me too on likeing snakes. I have never been afraid of snakes. As a child in Michigan I played with little garter snakes. I thought they made cute arm bands. Here in Tennessee you learn to be a cautious walker and hand weeder because we do have poison snakes here.
