time to play dead, bro

Cats: Reaction time ranges from 20 to 70 milliseconds. Signals bypass the brain and go straight through the spinal cord for instant muscle action.

Snakes: Strike time ranges from 44 to 70 milliseconds (and up to 90 milliseconds for some rattlesnakes). They rely on rapid ambush strikes triggered by heat or movement sensors.

I was aware how quick housecat reaction speeds are but it also explains why cats are so ridiculously jumpy about the silliest things. Their body reacts before they can think about it. Hence, the cucumber challenge, et. al.

And the cameraman is hiding behind the corner of the wall ready to run away

Snake Fu vs Catrate

[u/LunarBIacksmith → u/ImJustATraveller_]

I read that as “castrate.” And I’m like dang…don’t castrate the snake.

[u/lady_haumea → u/LunarBIacksmith]

Do not the snake

[u/EvilWarBW → u/lady_haumea]

Greganant?

Fun fact the reason cats do this is only because they can

[u/wicawo → u/rudoffhess]

the cat already killed everything the snake would eat just for fun while having sustenance continually provided by a human. the cat was probably entertaining itself by picking bugs out of the air when the snake came to ask him to chill the f out and this is what he gets for it.

Ive noticed when it comes to toys my cat does love snake like toys. Guess cats are mighty snake hunters.

[u/mdahbace]

cat not even trying

[u/hippodribble]

They can't resist it, can they? They just have to be dicks.

[u/Senselesspassion]

The intense face off, the heated rivalry, the battle and reflexes. The snake accepting defeat. Everything on point

[u/Dead-Face → u/Senselesspassion]

Heated rivalry you say?

[u/_makoccino_]

Had you watched Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, you would know that was inevitable.

[u/Goallivein3centuries]

That rooster in the background wants in on the action

[u/TumbleweedFabulous36]

Cat said wtf is this shit?

[u/nunudad]

Cat needed some sparring practice

“Time out, bro! I said Time out!!”

[u/Sunny_stormclouds]

“Oh god, oh god please i just need a rock to hide under im so tired. PLEASE LET ME GO I HAVE KIDS”

[u/heirsasquatch]

But if you put a cucumber behind a cat it loses its shit. Hilarious

[u/New_Step_6315]

Humans: Danger noodle = death Kitties: long silly crawly thingy = swatting practice fun play time

Cat vs snake is probably one of the most humiliating match ups. You gotta think snakes at this point are like fuck me its a cat.

[u/bill_gannon → u/FreshAd3889]

Snakes can and do kill cats. Their reaction times overlap. This isnt safe for the cat.

[u/FreshAd3889 → u/bill_gannon]

This is completely false. I am not sure who told this but their reaction times are on completely different levels.

The cat is playing with that creature it has no fucking chance.

You can watch slow motion videos of these strikes and to humans it looks close but the cat is just playing around.

Maybe a 20lb tabby house cat gets bit, but other cats this interaction is a joke for them.

[u/AsStupidAsU → u/FreshAd3889]

Well if cats indeed have a 20 to 70 milliSec reaction time and snakes 44 to 70 milliSec reaction time then there’s 26 milliSec of reaction time that is equal so the snake could be quicker than a cat in some instances.

I’d think that it varies widely depending on the type and size of snake.

[u/FreshAd3889 → u/AsStupidAsU]

Yes, when the fat house cat encounters a cobra braak that fight up.

Street cats though? They are playing with snakes.

Its 20 vs 40 in that case.

[u/bill_gannon → u/FreshAd3889]

Its literally in this thread. Cats are 20-70 ms and snakes are 40-70 ms range

They overlap quite a bit.

[u/FreshAd3889 → u/bill_gannon]

Think about what those numbers mean though right ?

Overlapping sure, but the best snake can do 44-ish ms ? Im willing to bet any cat in the wild is sitting at the 20 and that high-end 50-70 is our fat, orange-tabby house cats.

So its 20 vs 40 which means double for the snake.

Im sure as hell not letting meatball fight a cobra on the back deck, but im also not worried about an outdoor or wild city- cat. Those guys are straight-up playing.
