Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enn49" data-source="post: 123449" data-attributes="member: 3458">In my opinion a cat is more likely to hurt the snake, they see it as a piece of string to play with although if a Royal/ball  struck it could constrict the breathe out of a cat. I have 5 cats and always shut 4 out of the room before handling Mali but my oldest girl is so used to being around snakes that she'll sniff noses with Mali with no reaction from either.The Blood Python I'm getting will be another matter altogether as they will strike at anything they think may be food. I intend keeping him in my bedroom so I can get him used to being handled with no cats around.</blockquote>
