Fan mail for Speckles, the snake killing cat Linda Waggener writes: Mike, thank you for sharing the good news about your cat, the snake killer. I come from a long line of women who, like Indiana Jones, hate snakes, and would highly value a cat like your Speckles. It's hard being a tree hugger and yet want all snakes to be hauled off to another country. I know it's not reasonable, but that's just how it is. Give Speckles an extra serving of cat food from a fan in Columbia. - Linda WaggenerComments re article 57528 Snake hunting season off to headstart in Harrodsburg KY 2013-02-10 08:33:09 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
