It's not PC, but I don't like snakes

The python came in again last night.

I think it's determined to eat a cat.

Like a genuine nature-blogger, I actually took some photos of it.

I tried to think of some way of frightening/disconcerting it, so it wouldn't want to come back, but apparently I'm not entirely over my snake phobia, which limited me a bit.

I tried tossing pillows at it (no effect), and hurling marulas at it (also no effect).

It accurately perceives me as a gutless wonder.

It slid back out the window after about an hour of me calling it names.
Fortunately, none of the pets noticed it, as their neuroses are bad enough already.

Maybe I should make fly-screens for the windows?

I'm hoping it will hibernate for winter....
