One down, eight to go for Jelly
Jelly would have to be one of the luckiest cats alive.
Nine-year-old Jelly spent some time yesterday walking around with a deadly Lowland Copperhead snake wrapped around her neck.
Owner Wendy Wallis said Jelly wandered back in to their property, which borders the creek at Sorell, about 11.30am yesterday carrying the snake with her.
She called wildlife rescuers who removed the snake.
‘Both the cat and the snake seemed quite happy,’ Ms Wallis said.
‘She didn’t show any signs of a bite last night, but this morning she was almost paralysed.
‘She’s at the Montrose vet at the moment being pumped full of anti-venom, but the vet says she’ll recover fully.’
Ms Wallis said she snapped the picture through a glass door, but didn’t dare open the door as the cat would have walked inside.”

Posted about it, amazed.
that is one lucky cat. I got spooked even looking at the pics!
When I saw that image my gut twisted. At least they knew for certain which antibody to give!
Your right this cat is the luckiest I have ever seen. I have seen some cats that I thought for sure were gonners! thanks for the share~HUGS~
