Thanks so much for the information. It does look like a black racer. I love the website link, jazzy48. I bookmarked it for future reference in case I run into any snakes while gardening.
Just to clarify, our cat is only allowed inside our birdcage in our backyard. We have a pet door in our slider so the cat can access only the birdcage area. We also close off the pet door access at night to hopefully avoid interactions with any other animals. I may also look into strengthening the lower panels of the birdcage, as villagetinker mentioned he has done.
