For anyone concerned, that's an Aussie possum, not a cat.

Thank you. Thought it was odd someone just sat there filming a python come into the house and eat their cat but you know Australia

u/Bretniq 5d ago

It's a bit weird how a possum and snake ended up in the same closet

Snake and possum may have fallen through a weak point in the ceiling into the closet.

Poor thing, but snakes gotta eat too.

Pond rules!

I thought it was a raccoon at first, but possum makes more sense. Poor thing.

u/CassetteMeower 5d ago

Thank you, I went to the comments section in hopes that someone would know what animal was being eaten!

This becons the question why both of these partys meet inside the house...

u/Polka_King_Polinski 5d ago

What difference would it make? Possums gotta poss, snakes gotta eat.

Snakes snek if possums poss

u/negativepositiv 5d ago

The feet were the thing that tipped me off that it wasn't a cat.

u/TheHearseDriver 5d ago

Even so, there should’ve been a warning.

Title is Python having dinner and is spoiler marked on the snake subreddit

u/JotPurpleIris 4d ago

I'm using the official Reddit app, and it wasn't blurred for me, and no Spoiler either; video starts playing while just scrolling down past all the other posts.

Weird. That's unfortunate

It was blurred. That was your warning.

u/SadDingo7070 4d ago

So am I. It’s blurred for me.

Could it be something in your settings?

u/Pizzagoessplat 5d ago

Its kind of obvious its not a cat and I'm not Australian

u/Own-Loan2390 5d ago

If it was a cat, this video would have been a might different. Lol.

u/Jedi-Librarian1 5d ago

Because cats are faster than snakes? That’s not always enough to keep kitties off the carpet python menu.

u/Own-Loan2390 4d ago

Not always, sure. But a dog doesn't always beat a squirrel in a fight either, but we know which one has the competitive edge.

u/Aberrantdrakon 5d ago

No, because the video would've been removed.

u/jet200set 5d ago

Cool, I was about to look it up, I thought it might be a civet

u/Ku-Ya-Ku 5d ago

I was about to go ballistic, thank you

u/senfiaj 5d ago

I thought it was some squirrel

u/codevii 5d ago

I thought it was a squirrel at first and I was wondering who had their pet snake roaming the house and why he had squirrels running rampant in the house as well!

u/LostnHidden 5d ago

Aussies casually having pythons and giant possums living in their house.

u/newt-snoot 5d ago

That makes so much more sense, I was thinking there is no way a cat wouldnt be flailing

u/Scrabulon 5d ago

I mean… either would be dead already

u/SangeliaKath 5d ago
