Cats Protect Family From Snake

In Bhubaneswar city in Orissa state of India, a group of three domestic cats protected a family here from a poisonous cobra by preventing the snake's entry into the house.

The snake appeared in the front yard of the house of Santilata Das, a resident of Orissa's capital city Thursday morning when no one was at home, a local TV channel reported.

The cats surrounded the snake and did not allow it to enter the house. 'I came a few hours later and thanked the cats for protecting us,' Das was quoted as saying by the channel.

'They had also prevented the entry of a snake the same way last year,' she said.

Das's neighbours and local journalists rushed to witness the incident. Later, a volunteer from a city-based snake help line went to the house and captured the reptile.
