Cat alerts mother to attack

Tweet

The article says the mother saved the baby, but would she have even awakened if the cat hadn't made noise? "I heard the cat hissing on the bed, which is what woke me up in the first place," So, I say, the cat saved the day! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/07/mother-saves-daughter-from-python_n_2424507.html?ncid=webmail19 But really, was the cat just hissing at the snake or upset because it was too close to its baby? Now, I've mentioned before that my folks had a cat when my sister was born. My mother didn't want Jingo sleeping with my sister not because of that old myth of sucking a baby's breath, but because the cat weighed about as much as the baby and was afraid he might lay on her. But one day she heard the cat let out a caterwaul... and Jingo was half-Siamese, so you know this cat had a voice on him, from my sister's room. When she ran in, Jingo was yowling at something under the crib. When he saw my mother, he ran off, he had a person come and rescue "his baby." There was a 6 inch tarantula under the crib. After that, Jingo could sleep anywhere he wanted! I hope this mother realizes that the cat may have, like Jingo, been worried about his or her baby. That's what I would've reported anyway...
