I thought that snakes were afraid of domestic cats. I came to believe this because I was irrationally afraid of snakes, so to placate me my mom told me two white lies: a) there are no poisonous snakes in Delaware & b) snakes are afraid of cats... so Ralph, our yellow tabby, would protect me if any showed up in Delaware.
