I think my cat is suicidal

Yes folks, you read correctly! I think Charlee is suicidal...... when I came home on Wednesday from my grandma's house ( I walked there and back with Maygan in the pram) I found Charlee in the front yard trying to play with a tiger snake.... A SNAKE!!! The silly boy thought it was lovely to tap the snake with his paws, follow it across the yard and then try to sniff its head! This is when the snake reared up at him and he jumped back. The snake continued on its merry way, WITH Charlee following him across to the garden, and under the house!
I will admit I was pretty scared, for the cat! I was nervous for me, but the snake was already leaving when I got there!
Since then I've managed to pluck up the courage to go out to the clothesline several times, and also this morning continued on my fitness kick of running up and down our long driveway. Now the aim of exercise is to get your heart beating faster so you burn fat.... does simply going near where I saw the snake (thus causing my heart to race!) effective enough to burn fat? One will never know I guess.... I just hope I NEVER see it again, and sincerely hope that it's left the premises all together and hasn't decided that under the house is a nice place to camp!
On that note, I think I should give you an update on Miss Maygan who can now walk independently thank-you-very-much!!
YES, she's finally walking!! And has been doing so for 2 weeks so far... although she still staggers like a drunk sometimes hehe
Here's some photos for your perusal... just because she's so cute!

Watching tv in her favourite yellow shoes, which she chose herself I might add! She's like her Daddy when the box is on.... you can stand in front of her and she'll just look around you to see the telly!!

Sitting at her new table and chairs with Elmo. Now she can actually get up on the chairs by herself and says "sit", or she'll point the the chair and say "seat".... yes, she's so smart!!

And here's my gorgeous girl yesterday! It was so hot she ran around in just her nappy and a pair of shorts on.

lol....hes not nuts...just feeling the call of the wild.
Coal did the same thing when she was baout 4 months old...her and the mother in law were out in the back yard when I hear a bunch of screaming.
Mother in law comes racing inside and Coal is out there bouncing around slapping this long black snake on the head...she doesn't know any better after all and its not "running" away.
Anyways she gets a little nip beneath one eye...nothihng dangerous or perilous (except no hair grows on that small spot at all now!!)
She stayed away from that area for an hour or 2 after the snake had slunk off but shes still just as stupid now as she was then *grins*
