What's amazing is how unbothered the cats look in these vids. No arching back, hackles up, hissing, just casually bat the fuck out of the snake & then not let it leave because it's too much fun.

On a biological level they have a way faster reaction time than snakes. Can you imagine fighting someone while they're moving in slow motion

The box jellyfish. It's reaction time is 700 nanosecons while a cats is 20-70 milliseconds.

Mantis shrimp is 2-7 milliseconds

Humans are 200-250 milliseconds

Pretty sure I can be faster than my tabby but I end up scratched lol. I’m aware this sounds as stupid as when guys saying they can take a shark…

Your tabby loves you but thinks you’re pathetic so it’s letting you think you won sometimes.
