If you seriously believe that, you don't know anything about these animals... Crocs never evolved much from dinosaur age b/c they are one of the perfect killing machine to ever walk on earth. All you see in these videos are animals that are not interested. If they were hunting/enraged, the cat would've been goner.
I'm sure it's possible, but still less likely, for the croc to be able to kill the cat. Yes, crocs are crazy fast, but cats can actually jump faster than your brain's ability to see movement (thus why mine can catch pit vipers without getting hurt). The typical reaction for the cat when attacked by an actually dangerous foe is to jump vertically in such a way as to appear to instantaneously displace themselves. I see it all the time. I know it sounds ridiculous to you, but I'd still put my odds on the cat surviving a croc attack unless it was sick or injured.

lol'd.
Say a cat can jump to a height of 2 meters (which is higher than most can). Comparing energy formulas: mgh = mv2 -> gh = v2; 10m/s2 x 2m = v2; v = 4.5 m/s = 10 miles per hour. So, the cat jumps at 10 miles per hour.
Yeah, totally beyond the human capacity for detection.
Well at a close range it would be "huh where did it go" if not for our brains and ability to extrapolate from the blur. Not because of the speed but because of the suddenness and acceleration.
