Tavi & the snake
I think I accidently created a bit of a issue when it comes to Tavi the kitten and snakes and lizards. When I first brought Tavi home I let her have all of the toys that were left over from when Koneko, my 7 year old cat, was a kitten. Among those toys were several plastic lizards and a 6" long stuffed snake with a wire it so you can bend it into different shapes. So far Tavi has chewed the feet off most of the lizards and will spend hours carrying the snake around, tossing it into the air so she can chase it, and chewing on it. That snake really is one of her favorite toys, I've even caught her sleeping with it, kinda like a kid with their favorite blanket.
Well, this may have contributed to Tavi's rather over excited reaction when she saw a real live snake for the first time. I was taking her for a walk in the back yard with her in her harness and leash. She was just playing in the grass so I bent down to pull a few weeds out of the lawn when all of a sudden I feel a jerk on the leash. I looked up just in time to see Tavi flip up into the air and fall back down to the ground after she hit the end of the leash at a full run! She then proceded to leap about wildly at the end of the leash will staring straight ahead! Looking to see what had her so excited I spotted a good sized black racer snake poking it's head out of the grass about ten feet in front of Tavi. Apparently the snake had been making it's way innocently across the lawn when Tavi spotted it and decided she really needed to play with the living, moving version of her favorite toy! The snake just calmly watched Tavi bounce around for a minute or so before casually heading off into the neighbors yard without a care in the world. It wasn't until after the snake was out of sight that Tavi would calm down.
I really wish I'd had my camera with me because that was simply hilarious!
