Mo isn't a cat you hug too often without full leather on LOL!
The vets hate him. Heck we don't even like him that much. But he's ours now. It's a miracle if he gets vaccines annually- absolutely no exam is possible although I should take congratulatory flowers to the new lady vet who tried the soft feminine approach and did manage to get a weight and an ear temperature reading without serious injury before the snarling, spitting and raucous screaming began....and that was with sedation!

Here he is doing the "Mo" thing which he will do at intervals all day long on any surface, hard or cushioned. It's the only endearing thing he does besides jumping on your back when you least expect it while working in the garden. 17 lbs of surprise on your shoulder or back isn't really that endearing, I guess.

Sorry to hijack the thread from snakes to voles 888. I hope you get an answer to your snake question. Perhaps you'd care to rent-to-own a 17 lb black and white possible snake hunter?
