OP
The fool cat is out playing in the rain!!! She is sopping wet and doesn't seem to care anymore! This is where it gets scary. She has a Banded water snake by the head and it's trying to escape. These snakes look JUST LIKE a moccasin with the only variation being the shape of the head. I was a bit alarmed and even then, the snake is almost big enough to see her as food. I don't know how she managed it, but I don't give the snake very long to live.
You can keep a kitty tied up inside for soo long then they go wild looking for some other stimulus. The fact she's in the rain soaking wet and chasing snakes says it all! My poor kitties went out on the back porch just in time for the hardest of the rains to which i laughed evilly as I closed the door and watched them run around the deck for a few minutes realizing there was no place to hide.. they forgave me last night though, they wailed in my room by the glass door to the deck again till i let them out to play under the full moon..... that went away to rain again.
