This is the stomach churning moment a five-metre-long python is caught and forced to spit out a PET CAT.

The enormous snake swallowed the ginger tabby named Bobo after slithering into a home in Pathum Thani, Thailand.

It then curled up under the kitchen sink in a comfy place to digest the three-year-old cat weighing around 3kg.

But horrified resident Saowarak Charoen, 59, walked in and spotted the stodged serpent and called police.

Two policeman, three animal rescuers and a reporter arrived a short time later and dragged out the snake with an enormous bulge in its stomach.

The men then moved and twisted the python to force it to regurgitate family pet Bobo, which appeared feet first from its jaws covered in slime.

Devastated owner Saowarak, who keeps two other cats, said she had now buried Bobo in the garden.

She said: ''I went to the kitchen noticed the cupboard under the sink was open.

''There was a tail pointing out of it and I thought the snake was small, so I ran outside and called the police.

''When they arrived they said it was enormous. I was shocked.

''I get upset every time I think about poor Bobo and how he died.''

Wildlife officers measured the python which was just over five metres long. They later released the snake back into the wild.

Police in the Khu Bang Luang district of the province confirmed they helped with the rescue operation.
