Python makes a meal out of cat

08Nov07

Meet the SNAKE that got the cream ... or the cat in this case.

Redlynch resident January Clay got the shock of her life when she saw her fully-grown cat disappearing down the throat of the 3m python.

She had let the cat outside about 5.30am on Wednesday morning and when she went to check on it 30 minutes later made the gruesome discovery.

"When I came out of the house the cat's legs were hanging out of its mouth," she told The Cairns Post yesterday.

"I knew there were snakes about, but I never expected one to come into my yard."

Ms Clay only moved to Redlynch four months ago and had not seen a snake in the outdoor area before.

Despite her sadness at seeing her five-year-old pet killed by the python, she was not upset at the snake.

It's just nature, he was just doing what he normally does. My cat was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

The python eventually left of its own accord.

Ms Clay's attitude is in stark contrast with some other Cairns residents, who have recently played a role in bludgeoning several native species including pythons and a crocodile to death.
