A cat’s reaction speed is 7 times that of a snake! The cat’s visual nerve is relatively powerful, perhaps dozens of times that of a human, but a cat’s reaction speed is 7 times faster than that of a snake. The beard is equivalent to a radar, which can sense the snake's reaction from a long distance. Moreover, cats have strong coordination and move quickly and agilely. Therefore, in terms of reaction speed, cats react faster than snakes, and they often have the upper hand in the fight between cats and snakes. And if a cat is entangled by a snake, the cat will keep jumping and use its own power to suppress the snake, making the snake dizzy. ​​​​​​

Do cats catch snakes? Why are they not afraid of snakes? Cats catch snakes because they don’t know the danger of snakes. Cats are very curious, so for cats, snakes will not scare them, but they catch snakes out of curiosity. For stray cats, snakes are just prey, not only for curiosity but also for food and survival. Domestic cats are generally less likely to catch venomous snakes because they are wealthy, have ample food, and are less likely to see snakes. In addition, since the snake's attack distance is only 1/3 of its body length, the characteristics of a jumping attack are too obvious, and the attack direction is always a straight line with the snake's head as the direction. If you want to change the attack direction, you must turn the snake's head. And the endurance of snakes is also quite poor. The energy consumed by each attack of the snake is equivalent to that of a cat running 1 kilometer. Therefore, cats are generally not afraid of snakes.

Cats are afraid of snake venom, and snake venom can also cause cat poisoning. The prognosis after a cat is bitten by a snake includes: First, if it is bitten by a rattlesnake snake, and if death does not occur within 2 hours, the prognosis will be: Usually better. Secondly, if you are bitten by a snake of the family Elapidae and Hydratinae, if treated promptly, the prognosis is generally better. Regardless of whether anti-toxin treatment is used, the expected recovery period is 7 to 10 days.
