Python Swallows Pet Cat Whole in Horrifying Incident On 4/5/21 at 4:57 PM EDT A housecat named Hurjun met a horrific end on April 4 when he was apparently suffocated and swallowed whole by a python in the comfort of his Thailand home, according to Mothership. Photographs of the scene posted to Facebook show the snake digesting its meal, its diamond-patterned belly noticeably distended. In the same post, Hurjun's owner, Kanchi Nard, recounted the tragic series of events, which took place around 3 p.m. local time. She wrote that her daughter had wandered into the backyard in search of Hurjun only to stumble upon an enormous python instead. Her cries of alarm brought Nard herself running. Seeing the conspicuous bulge in the snake's belly, Nard realized Hurjun was "already in his stomach," according to Facebook's translation feature.
