Cat protects the owner from a dangerous snake

Ricky just returned home from shopping. He placed his grocery bags close to the refrigerator before leaving the house. The door was left unlocked.

He noticed his cat hissing angrily and leaping back and forth when he got back. The man ignored the cat and left the room once more.
The cat was in the same spot when he returned the following time. The man made an effort to determine the cat’s problem. The cat was hissing at the shopping bags, he noted.

It was one of Australia’s most poisonous snakes. The bite could be deadly.
