Pet cat stops cobra from entering home; know what she does next [See Pic]
There are a lot of fans of cat memes and funny cat videos-but these felines don’t appear to hesitate to up their footing in our minds a level further. This time around a kitty took to looking death right in the face.
A pet cat in Odisha, stood guarding a house while a threatening cobra skulked just in front of it. The cat did not give the snake a single chance to get inside the house till snake helpline workers arrived at the spot to catch the cobra.
In an image posted by the news agency ANI, the white cat was snapped sitting watchfull in front of the house while the snake with its spread hood waited in front of it. The cat stood guard over for 30 minutes while others waited for snake helpline workers to come. It was quite an act by the cat as cobras are known to attack cats if conditions demand.
A resident of the house, identifed as Sampath K Parida, stated that their cat is only one-and-a-half years old. "It lives with us like a family member," Mr Parida added.

We also ran into few creative minds spinning tiny accounts around the incident. Similarly, a user wrote that the cat could have been telling the snake, "Hey snakeyy snakerson, help me leave this place please."
Maybe they were just having a conversation about the owner. Hey snakeyy snakerson, help me leave this place pls bruh.

A user elucidated the state of affairs by adding on the "instinctive nature" of cats. He wrote that cats like to play a standoff with other animals until one of them gives up.
Just the instinctive nature of cat. No intention of 'preventing a cobra from entering a house'. They sort of play with other until one of them backs off.

Up to this time, cat lovers thought this cat needed a good pat for his actions. One user recommended a treat for it and wrote, "She needs to be given 'wet chicken in gravy' cat food."
