A cat saved its owner from a poisonous tiger snake. Courageous Fluffy

Does your cat like to check shopping bags and rustle bags, too? If so, don’t stop him from doing it – he might be saving your life.

That’s exactly what our cats do…every time)

ABC News Australia reported on one such brave purr-face.

A dangerous snake and a brave cat

When Ricky Owens, a resident of Dortmund, Australia, returned from the store, he had no idea he had brought home a dangerous reptile.

He was only surprised by the reaction of the cat, which sniffed, rubbed bags and bags and hissed at them. But the owner decided that the purr-fect had simply decided to look for something tasty among the purchases.

Ricky left the pet at home and went to rest at the bar. What was his surprise when he came home to find the cat still sitting next to the purchases. He lifted the bags and saw a snake had popped out from underneath them and was hiding under the refrigerator.

Luckily, the Australian was able to grab the reptile by its tail and throw it out the window. The intruder turned out to be a deadly tiger snake.

It’s eerie to imagine what would have happened if it had been a small child who decided to check the bags his mother had brought. Now the owner assures that he will pay very close attention to the behavior of the four-legged friend who saved him from death.

The treacherous aspid.

The tiger snake is a member of the genus Aspidae, a venomous land reptile. Meeting with it does not bode well – bitten animal dies almost instantly, and a person’s chance of survival does not exceed 20-30%.

The only way to survive is to go straight to the hospital, where you will be injected with an anti-vomein serum. But even this does not guarantee salvation.

Aspies are very insidious. One of them bit the caster-tamer David Miles, who was feeding the snakes. So biting the “giver’s hand” is no problem for them. Thanks to the serum injected, the trainer survived, but the bitten finger swelled up almost twice and was painful for a very long time.

The second interesting case also happened in Australia. A man who saw a strange “lanyard” mistook it for a phone charger. Good thing he heard the hissing and called the snake handlers.

Ricky Owens would have joined this company had it not been for a pet who risked his life for his owner. Fortunately the story ended with a happy ending. Neither the snake, the cat nor the Aussie were hurt.

Australia is a dangerous continent with unfriendly nature. It is home to many poisonous snakes, spiders, and other beasts that can easily send you to the other side.

So it is not in vain they say, “if a black cat crossed the road in Australia, you should rejoice – it is the safest creature you can meet on your way.
