Cat Discovers A Snake Trapped In Their Window And Calls Her Owner For Help
Storm has a habit of making herself heard, and that trait came in handy when something unusual showed up in the basement window. The curious cat spotted a snake trapped in the narrow pocket and immediately called for her mom's attention.
Storm's family is used to her alerting them about wildlife, from bunnies and frogs to insects and spiders. This time, though, the situation was a little more serious, and Caitlyn Hartley had to move fast to help the snake get free.
Storm was right to sound the alarm, and the rescue did not take long to get interesting.
Storm tried to get her mom's attention one day.
Once again, Storm wanted her mom to accompany her to the basement. Initially, Hartley thought that she only wanted to play.
But when she saw what Storm wanted to report, she realized that another animal was currently stuck in the window.
Not only that, she was quite terrified of the creature.
I was not expecting a snake to get stuck there, and it was a decent-sized garter snake.
Hartley was completely shocked.
It also brings to mind the snake lover who kicked her fiancé out for releasing her pet snake.
Here's the video of Storm reporting the incident to Hartley.
According to Hartley, to set the snake free, her husband opened the window from the basement.
For his safety, he wore gloves when he opened the window and then the screen. He gently yet quickly took the snake and placed it in a box, which Hartley held.
I had to quickly put the sides of the box down enough so the snake didn't jump back out. I carried the snake outside and released it into the cluster of trees by our house.
Thankfully, the snake seemed fine.
It wasn't injured at all. The friendly Hartley asked the snake not to get trapped in their window again.
Hartley positioned the box so that the snake could slither off into the trees. He was finally able to return to his normal life.
As for Storm, she will continue to be vigilant for animals that might get stuck in their basement window. As always, her family will be there to rescue them.
Cats are typically curious. It's one of those traits that we love.
Their curiosity is part of their instincts. If something catches their eye, they are willing to explore it on their own.
For our beloved kitties, the world around them is full of wonder. It's no surprise that Storm always looks concerned when she sees wildlife stuck in the window.
Storm's quick reaction turned a scary moment into a safe rescue.
Wait until you see how a homeowner handled the 7-foot snake inside his couch, without wasting a minute.
