My housemate's cat is really interested in Penelope. He sat in front of her tank for 2 hours yesterday lol. We shooed him away during feeding time so now he thinks he's not allowed near the tank so he comes in to my room and just sit by the door and looking guilty.

How do your furries react to your snakies/reptiles?

I think he ment his sisters cats? My cat will sit infront of my Crested Gecko for hours and then I will take him out and she will run away. My dog used to be obsessed over him but then I shooed her away so many times that I think she finally has the idea. The funny part is that my cat and my lizard will play together at night.

HOW? You don't know how many times I have seen a cat with a lizard in its mouth, or do you mean through the glass?

My cat doesn't seem to care much, my dogs watch VERY intently when I have one of the snakes out!!

I have two cats... Tish doesn't care about anything; she doesn't have a predatory bone in her body. But my other cat, Vodka, would probably love to "play" with my snakes haha. Needless to say, I've let Vodka smell them, but get nowhere near them with her paws or anything like that.

I reposted an old thread that my wife wrote. I thought it was pretty funny.

our cats will sit and watch the snakes through the glass but we throw them out of the house during feeding and handling time. They are both prolific hunters and would have no issue whatsoever taking on any of our snakes, it just isnt worth the risk.

Already posted on another thread about this but I will put it here too.

Came across my lost hoggie this morning...
The cat must have found it during the night :(
Not a pretty site, I am pretty upset about it. My cat always sits and watches the snakes but never goes near when they were out. Not that I ever trusted the cat with the snakes but this morning was another reminder that cats/dogs and snakes do not mix

Please understand I do not want anyone to go through what I did this morning.

KEEP CATS AND DOGS AWAY FROM SNAKES AT ALL TIMES PLEASE!!!

Sorry to hear!

Hopefully now that we have a snake, my roommate will close the door every time she leaves the room. My goal for the next week (besides studying for finals) is to find a better place for the tank. Right now it's temporarily on the floor.

The good thing is Rambo is a scaredy cat and doesn't like getting in trouble. Soon he'll probably forget Penelope even exists. But I got the screen top secured with clamps and textbooks, so I'm not too worried.
