'Heartbreaking': Girl horrified to find pet cat eaten by giant snake

A family has shared the heartbreaking moment a little girl was confronted with a horrifying sight while looking for her family's beloved pet cat.

Kanchi Nard, from Thailand, wrote on Facebook her 11-year-old daughter Gracia went behind the family home on Saturday about 3pm looking for their pet cat named Ho Jun.

Instead of finding the family's furry companion, the little girl spotted an enormous snake with a bulge in its stomach.

Ms Nard wrote her daughter screamed “snake” and "can't find Ho Jun".

It's at this point the mum came to a horrific realisation: the cat had been devoured by a snake.

“It's so heartbreaking,” Ms Nard wrote.

Pictures uploaded to Facebook show the large snake slithering through a room of the family home.

A crew of emergency workers were snapped wrangling the snake into a bag.

All the mum could do was comfort her little girl, who was in tears as the pair realised Ho Jun was gone.

"She is very sad. She is speechless. Hurt," she wrote.

“RIP Handsome Ho Jun. Mother will love and miss you forever,” Ms Nard wrote.
