I live on a cypress swamp. My lanai backs up to it. Moccasins and Pygmy rattlers are abundant. They have a tendency to make it up under the door to the lanai. In the last five years it has happened maybe fifteen, twenty times.

Most of the time I don't notice them until...the cats get to them. Two cats to be exact.

I sit and watch the festivities with a cold brew and cigar. Most entertaining.

On a serious note, the cats have prevented me from being bitten, probably five to seven times.
