That’s no cat

It sounded like a cat. Did one wander into our backyard?

I had to get up and look.

Nope, no cat–but, instead, a snake eating a frog. 

I guess I interrupted things. The frog got away, the snake took to the grass. 

Florida doing Florida things?

Pretty much. And right on our deck. 

Circle of life, I guess. 

Both the snake and frog are going to go home and tell their friends two widely different stories.

I was just about to finish my dinner when some guy came out and interrupted me

Just as I thought my life was over, some guy just showed up and scared the snake away

I'm curious how a snake attempting to eat a frog sounds like a cat.

It's not just Floridia, I had that same scenario play out on our breezeway here in CT last year.. The kids discovered it.   That was fun..

I got new door sweeps!

Maybe frog screams sound like a cat in heat?  I dunno.

What?!  No pics?

I asked AI to make a picture of the scene and we got this. It's not exactly what I asked for but the frog seems to be having a good time so we got that.

Frogs are surprisingly loud. At a guess getting eaten probably makes them louder. 

I have a pic on my old phone of a frog going head first down a snake's mouth.  The frog has both his front legs around the snake's 'throat', trying to prevent that from happening.

I've encountered this, and yes, the frog was really loud.

Oh, that's brilliant!  They even got a fair likeness of Mr. Wallens in the doorway. 

Question:  What's that brown pile on the right that resembles dog barf?

And why does the AI think the kid should be eating an Oreo?

Not to mention – now that I look at it again – balancing on one leg like that?

Exactly!

I'm going through my old laptop to see if I saved it on there right now.
