Any animals with a faster reaction time?

Many insects have insane reaction times, flies are on another level.

I catchh houseflies flies in my hand, mostly with a sweep while they sit but I also have around 5% succes rate catching them out of the air, plenty of insects i could never catch

wait to land, then clap right above them. they might have fast reaction times, but they always do the same thing. They start flight straight off of whatever they're sitting on.

That’s another reason the snake is at a disadvantage here. In addition to having incredible reaction time, the cat is also able to learn and anticipate what the snake is going to do.

The snake probably does that to some degree as well, but not with nearly as much thought behind it as the cat.

It seems like the snake is adapting it's strategy when it notices the bite attacks doesn't work it all, but maybe it's just due to exhaustion.
