Look What The Cat Dragged In!

Yup! It's a Copperhead! I was weed whacking around an old wood pile and this guy jumped out at me! Unfortunately for him, he jumped right into the strings of my trusty Stihl weed whacker. I know, but you must believe me. This snake really lunged out of the wood pile.

I just left the snake be and he slithered his slimy self into a bush where, apparently, he died from his tragic wounds. Not long after, my wife came running to me, freaking out, to give me important news. Did I forget to do something, again? I thought.

"The kittens are eating a Copperhead! They're gonna die eating a poisonous snake, won't they?!" She said.

We could stand a few less cats around here... "No, honey, they'll be fine. I'm sure a cat knows what it can eat and what it can't." I said, while hoping I was right.

So we went to look and, sure enough, there they were eating the snake like the two dogs in that Disney flick where they eat a spaghetti noodle and meet to kiss in the middle. The Lady and The Tramp? Actually, it was kind of cute, listening to them growl at each other as if to say Back Off! So, that's the story of the killer kittens. Sure beats killer balloons.

Editor's note: No animals were harmed in the writing of this article. The snake committed suicide into my weed whacker.
