MIRI: A 13-foot-long python swallowed a pet cat alive on Monday morning after straying into the backyard of a house in Kampung Masjid Sepupok Niah.

The reptile, weighing around 20kg, was caught by firemen from the Batu Niah fire station who were deployed to the house around 9.39am.

Batu Niah station chief Francis Aceh said his men were despatched to the house located about 11km from the fire station after a distress call at 8.56am.

“The house owner and his family members rushed to the backyard after hearing some noises only to find the python which was struggling to move. Upon a closer look, they realised it had eaten their pet cat alive,” said Francis.

The house owner immediately alerted the firemen who arrived at 9.07am.

After 30 minutes, the python was caught and later released into the wild.
