Thanks everyone!
Charlie, that's hilarious! Our guys showed up with a baby snake but I have ZERO clue where it came from, remember, INSIDE cats. That snake got taken care of in short order, while the people in this house generally can handle the squeaky toys being left behind there is one particular member of the family who HATE HATE HATES snakes, they are still unaware of the incident and I'm keepin it that way!! lol!
I am phobic about them, and admit it freely. I
can go see them at the zoo (they are in glass containers), but not pet shops (they come out of the glass containers.) Yes, I know they keep rodents in check, and they certainly have their place in the world, but my apartment is not that place.
This one was also taken care of, with a snow shovel.
