Similarly here, bears in my compost heap, coyotes in the neighborhood, the occasional fisher and fox.
Biggest cat around here is probably bobcat, but meanest is my cat Scurvy - she attacks snakes and chews off their heads, a practice which she started as a kitten, (on baby snakes, of course).

SoCal is completely OVERRUN with Rattlers!! But, in 10+ years of living here, I have YET to see a snake. Plenty of Lizards and Gophers though. WHY NO SNAKES??? Think they are afraid to come in a yard so full of BLACK WIDDERS!!!

The snake is symbolic of Satan. There are depictions of the Blessed Virgin Mary stepping on a snake. The process of the BVM stepping on a snake is symbolic of purity versus sin. The Blessed Mary was pure, holy and sinless and she stomps the head of the snake , i.e. Satan into a pulp with her smooth, soft, sexy feet. Well, not exactly but I am sure there are some televangelists who view it that way.

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

Not a good idea to STEP on a Snake! If it was a RATTLER, you can count on having serious BITES in your legs!
