Jong cat is nice and chubby but beware! she has all dictator qualities ...... But then one fine day she was gloating merrily and drooling on a sofa leaving the front door open on a beautiful rainy day.....and when mum woke her up she went in with her soft toy banana and slept on her warm cosy bed..... Late in the evening, when she opened her eyes she met a visitor, small snake in her room with scaly lines and blue black body with a nice slippery look, which looked more or less glamourous and better than any 'epitome of glamour' ever found in respective woods ........
Jong cat's first reaction was of horror & then climbing far up on her bed and then gradually she peered down at the snake hissing at the air molecules and bacterias floating in the air ..... Then mustering some courage Jong cat said- "Hi, How have you been? Nice to meet you....... Are you trimeresurus salazar?"
Travelling all the way back from Arunachal pradesh?
The puzzled... Snake looked at her and shook it's head which seemed like a big No...., who knows maybe snake understood Jong cat's language...
Then Jong cat tossed her mobile and caught it with her hand and searched ..... Then with a brief smile she, she said it to herself " I see you are Brahminy Blind snake." Turning towards the snake she said, "really glad to see you here friend I met your brother four years ago in our house gallery ... Now..... Wait I arrange for your food" With this jong got up and went out ... bewildered snake looked at her and then.... In few minutes Jong caught mosquitoes, and with a spade brought the large quantities of termites in plate, and a bowl of milk...., Now snake had a large variety of food to choose from.... And he hovered over everything for long and finished few stuffs with relish. And then merrily formed a loop of himself and dangled in delight as he played with ....hoopla self it seemed like the snake was thanking Jong cat and delighted Jong cat sat watching the snake from above with mirth and after a while Brahminy bowed and drifted away towards the entrance and into the garden and Jong cat, said "see you later" & waived in delight...!
