"The Black Cat Twitched Its Tail Twice. It Hissed...."

It arched its back and hissed again. The snake was now curled into a ball with its head sticking straight up. It was ready to strike. The cat stuck out its claws and lunged. The claws pierced the snake's flesh as the cat yelped and clawed. The snake was defenseless. After a few more minutes of clawing, the snake was dead. The cat took out its claws and ran away.
