The snake appeared in the front yard of the house of Santilata Das, a resident of Orissa’s capital city Thursday morning when no one was at home, a local TV channel reported.

The cats surrounded the snake and did not allow it to enter the house. “I came a few hours later and thanked the cats for protecting us,” Das was quoted as saying by the channel.

“They had also prevented the entry of a snake the same way last year,” she said.

Das’s neighbours and local journalists rushed to witness the incident. Later, a volunteer from a city-based snake help line went to the house and captured the reptile.
