While walking my neighbor's dog my brother's cat got scared and ran off which landed me on looking duty to find him. I figured he'd come back eventually and so did my dad, however my mom and brother wanted me to look for him anyway which I don't blame them. When my brother spotted him I went to go get him and nearly stepped in something I shouldn't and it wasn't dog scat. A huge rattle snake started shaking his tail and I backed up in a hurry and just in time to see his head come up. I managed to chase him off into the old barn under the tin which while I was safe I was mildly disappointed because he would have made for a fine dinner. Spartacus the cat that I was looking for was returned safely to the house and no one was bit.
