Snake Invasion Training

A couple years ago, we had two actual snakes invade our house. Ever since then, Pierre has been training for the next snake invasion.

Today, we have a sneak peek into his training regimen.

Pierre: First, you have to bring the training snake out for the training exercise.

Hmm, this smells like it was stored next to the catnip. Clearly a diversionary tactic to prevent me from doing my anti-snake infiltration training.

Okay, back to the training exercise. The next step is to grab the snake and show it who’s the boss.

Give that snake a good bite to break its neck.

Do you give up, snake? Do you?

Snake? Are you still alive? I hope so. Newton hasn’t had a turn with you yet.ย

That concludes our snake invasion training for today. Are you prepared for a snake invasion at your house?

    We supposedly have one of those snakes here – and Sparkle used to kill it ALL the time! But I have yet to see it… apparently my human does not remember where she put it. ๐Ÿ™

    So cute! We currently have an octopus invasion at our house that Soth is working on handling–I’m hoping that training can be applied to snakes, too! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Thankfully there are NO snakes around our house…and I’m very thankful of that. When you do catch a real snake, Pierre, do you think Ashton will try to eat it?

    mom says if we have a snake invade here, she’s moving (and she doesn’t think we would be great exterminators anyhow)

    I had a snake invade once too. It was awful but I did kill it. We have pygmy rattlers in my area and I believe that is what was in the house.

    I had a classroom snake that slipped out of its cage one summer. About a year later it came out of hiding and was found by my family of four cats. Poor Scooter did not survive the meeting.

    I am not prepared. We’ve never had a snake but you never know when you may get one. I will follow these steps in detail!

    I hope I never have to be prepared for a snake invasion! I’m pretty sure I would move out.

    MOL BOL That is some excellent training Pierre! You have Ma all smiles with your (cuteness) fierceness in these photos. We have a snake that lives in our backyard. Maybe you can come over and we can tear it to pieces together?!?

    What a wise plan of action. Is this an annual training?

    You have some real skills, Pierre! Manna is wishing that she had a training snake to play with. Just don’t tell her that we won’t be having many real snakes up here on the second floor. MOL ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh wow! We have had two snakes right next to our house this month. I let the dog take care them. It was fun watching her.

    I certainly am after your training course. We had a worm up here once but no snakes so far.

    I hope those are the same kinds of snakes that invaded your house. I can see everyone is safe now.

    I have learned at your paw, I feel ready to handle it should it come about. I hope I too can get mommy to find me a training snake to push my skills. I am good at shmousie killing.

    I heard there was a snake here once too, but that was before I was around and the doggies didn’t even see it.
