If you think you’re having a bad day, just wait until you see what happened to Marian the cat in Mendocino County, California.

At first, Marian’s owners thought she was playing with a worm. When they got a closer look, they realized that a sharp-tailed snake was lodged in her nasal cavity.

This is why you should always chew your food — especially if it’s alive and ready to fight!
