Not in any way malicious
After a serious research study (backed by Wikipedia), I have discovered that the snakes the cats brought into our house are luckily a very benign genus called carphophis, which are often mistaken for EARTHWORMS. Can you hear the trumpets? You know, the ones playing my victory hymn? Because Noah was all uppity about the fact that I confused a snake with an earthworm?
So, HA.
