CAIRNS resident January Clay got the shock of her life when she saw her fully-grown cat disappearing down the throat of a 3m python.
She had let the cat outside about 5.30am (AEDT) yesterday morning and when she went to check on it 30 minutes later made the gruesome discovery.
"When I came out of the house the cat's legs were hanging out of its mouth," she told The Cairns Post .
"I knew there were snakes about, but I never expected one to come into my yard."
Ms Clay only moved to Redlynch four months ago and had not seen a snake in the outdoor area before.
Despite her sadness at seeing her five-year-old pet killed by the python, she was not upset at the snake.
"It's just nature, he was just doing what he normally does. My cat was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Use of undefined constants causes assumptions!
not only are there deadly snakes in every hotel wardrobe but cat-eating snakes in the gardens of homes in Cairns?!
Poor cat and poor Ms. Clay. What a terrible shock for them both.
