I live in the country. My cats have brought me bunnies, birds, frogs, mice, moles, and even a snake. They bring them as presents to their owners. The only thing that made it in the house was a bunny which was still alive but wounded and 'Missy' hid it behind the potato box for later. FYI, Bunny's have a high pitched squeal.
Back to the snake. I'd heard that there were snakes around here when we moved in. (I live in the country, not too far from a stream). But actually seeing a snake that was 13-15 inches long, made me look behind my back alot being out in the yard. My DH said it was a garter snake, but I don't care what kind it is. I'm not going there!
