Cats trap endangered snake, local man warns neighbors

Charlie Stephens said his three cats surprised an eastern massasauga rattlesnake at his Port Huron residence on Monday.

“I happened to step out to get the mail and I noticed three of my cats were sitting in a triangle looking at the ground,” he said. “I thought at first they were watching some bird that they had found.

“I walked over to them and they were looking at this snake that was crawling through my front yard in the grass.”

    I hope that's not a picture of the snake the cats found, because that is not a massasauga.

    Nope, that's not the picture of the snake the cats found. We try to
    only use copyright free photos or other photos that give us permission
    to use them. Sometimes this means that we can't find an exact
    representation of the subject of the article, so we select a copyright
    free or creative commons image that we believe will somehow convey the
    message of the article and help the reader understand it. Since we
    could not find a picture of a massasauga with the appropriate
    permissions, we selected an image of a different snake, which we hoped
    would help the article come alive to the reader.
