In the footage posted to social media on Thursday, a cat is seen relaxing in the back yard of a property at Buderim on the Sunshine Coast when the mother comes out alarmed that the huge snake had snuck up behind it. As she yells, the snake grabs the cat's behind, which causes the startled pet to run inside the house while trailing the reptile - leading to horrified screams from a young girl inside. A mother was horrified to see a huge snake latch onto her cat in a suburban backyard The footage was posted on the Facebook page of Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 by the business's founder Stuart McKenzie, who said it was one of the 'most insane videos' he had ever seen. Mr McKenzie revealed the mother and daughter managed to detach the snake from their pet and get the carpet python back outside before calling him. 'Thankfully they were able to get the snake off the cat, the cat took off for a bit of time out and the snake, we ended up relocating - it curled up behind their barbecue,' Mr McKenzie said. 'This is one of the most spine-tingling crazy videos you will ever see.' The business's Facebook page also commended the home owners. 'Honestly, the mum and daughter were so brave and did a fantastic job,' the caption to the video read. The mother and daughter managed to rescue their cat from the snake and get the reptile back outside After being caught by a snake handler the python carpet was released out into bushland 'It was a great effort to help the cat and not hurt the snake.' A short clip shows the python on the back porch with the mother bolting down the side of the house to get away from it. Mr McKenzie took a later video of the python curled up in a capture bag. 'Now obviously it is a tough situation if a pet is ever grabbed by a carpet python but they did the right thing, they were able to safely get the snake off the cat, get the coils of the cat and the snake tried to sleep it off,' Mr McKenzie said. The python was released into bushland. 'Off you go buddy, no more grabbing pets please,' he told the departing reptile.
