We always talk about how people rescuing cats is one of the most amazing things that you can do for them. What we don't talk about enough is how our cats also save us. Now, of course, we mean that metaphorically. Cats bring us joy. Cats help us fight away the loneliness we feel sometimes. Cats do silly things and make us smile all the time. Cats lie there, on our laps, purring and not only giving us something to aww at but also bringing us calmness, like nothing else can. 

All of that is amazing and invaluable. Our cats save us every day. And sometimes, they literally save us. Our lives. Like they did with this person - not once but twice. Twice, this person's cats discovered a literal cobra in their homes, and twice, because of the cats' instincts, their owner was able to call in the right people and solve the problem on time.

    r/cats 2 days ago New-Entertainer-237 My cats saved me again! ☐ Cat Picture - OC 0 This a second time happened to me. A cobra got into my house and hiding under a big coffee table, too low to see anything underneath.

    This story is crazy enough as it is, but the fact that it happened twice is absolutely ridiculous. Listen to your cats. That is the conclusion from this story. If your cat is behaving weirdly and is too focused on something, then there is definitely something for it to be focused on.

    I went to the kitchen to get some coffee. Then I noticed all my cats gathered around the table. I looked down and surprised to see a spitting cobra. Here in my country, the firefighter also deal with dangerous animals. All my cats are safe if anyone wondering. They are heroic but not stupid. The snake was safely removed by firefighter 30 minute late.

    Oh, yes, this is definitely a sign of trouble. Not one, not two, but three cats all focused on the same spot in the exact same way… you should know that something is wrong. And this person did. And because of that, their life and possibly their cats' lived were saved.

    • New-Entertainer-237 OP 2d ago • It happened before but it was like ten years ago. And those cats already pass away because of the old age. The same type of snakes too.. just outside my bedroom, underneath a drawer. I always have a lot of cats. Most of them stray or sick, I took them and if they survived and wanted to stay, I just keep them.
