The cat guarded the giant viper snake until the catcher came ► Watch

(haipo) - Recently, more evidence has been received about the phenomenon of cats guarding the viper snake and protecting the public from being bitten. This also happened on Friday evening, 26/7/24, in the Neve Ganim Haifa neighborhood. Cats have an interesting feature: they sit at some distance from the snake and look at it. The snake remains confined to its place for a long time, so the snake catcher can capture it. Details about this later in the article...

Keep your phone number handy:
Cedar grain, snake catcher • 054-8808300

Did you encounter a snake? This is how you will behave:

In case you encounter a snake, first move away a little, but stay in the area, maintain eye contact and immediately call the catcher. It is important that you already have a phone number available in case of an emergency: 0548808300, so you don't have to start looking.
As mentioned, stay in the area and make eye contact until a professional arrives.
If there is a cat in the place - do not move it. The cat knows how to captivate the snake so that it remains motionless until a professional arrives and captures it.

Remember: Apart from the fact that a snake can be dangerous, all snakes in Israel are protected by law and it is absolutely forbidden to kill them or harm them in any way. In addition, the snakes are also very useful in that they exterminate the population of mice and rats that can cause many diseases.

during afternoon and night hours, when leaving the house, it is important to be alert, because the snakes, and in particular the viper snakes, come out mainly in the afternoon and at night, as these are their active hours. Also, it is important to keep a clean environment, cut grass, move piles of stones or scraps, these are places where the snakes can hide.

It is important to have A cat near every house. If it is a large area, it is recommended to have even several cats. Just put food for them and they will already guard the area, so in case a snake comes to the place, they will already charm it. The cats know how to protect themselves from snakes and thus they also protect us from them and help us discover them and keep them in their place until the catcher arrives.

Another thing And important: before the children leave the house, it is recommended to go out and scan the plants. You can give a few light blows on top of the plants with a broom, in order to make sure that there are no snakes among them. This is what I also instruct the kindergarten teachers to do before they take the children out into the yard.

  1. In my yard, 4 cats captivated a viper snake, beat it for an hour every time it raised its head until it died. It seems that for them it was an entertaining game. The cats are an asset.

    • Because guinea pigs are a danger to public health and their blood contains dangerous viruses. Apart from that, domestic pigs weighing 150-200 kilos have already caused disability and accidents, and therefore it is necessary to clean the city of each of them as quickly as possible.
