At the clinic, the vet carefully examined Marianne and immediately noticed something unusual—an object was visibly protruding from her nostril.
Despite no other external injuries, her nostril was swollen, and she kept sneezing uncontrollably.
The vet explained that stray cats, or even well-cared-for pets, can sometimes end up with foreign objects lodged in their noses while exploring outdoors.
With cautious precision, he decided to gently probe her nasal passage to determine the cause of her distress.
He explained that their best guess was that while Marianne was eating, the snake tried to free itself but only managed to wriggle into her sinuses, eventually emerging from her left nostril.
“Hopefully next time she won’t forget to chew,” he added with a mix of humor and disbelief.
The revelation sent a chill through the clinic; the idea that a snake had somehow ended up lodged in a cat’s nose was as horrifying as it was bizarre.
