A cat's reaction speed is seven times that of a snake. The reason why a cat can catch a snake is because the cat's reaction is too fast.

Why can cats catch snakes

It is said that in the animal world, when a cat and a snake meet on a narrow road, they have to fight to determine the outcome. But whether it is a Chinese meow-snake war or a foreign snake-meow war, the result of the battle is usually that the cat kills the snake with a meat ball on its paw.

Cats are extremely flexible and can fit into cracks in doors or into mouse holes. When a snake hunts, it always entangles the opponent first, and then tightens it tightly, causing the opponent to suffocate to death. But this trick doesn't work on Uncle Meow, because the snake's own bones are easily dislocated and fractured.

When a cat is tightly entangled by a snake, the cat will not stay still. It will suddenly relax its body, and most of the snake's bones will fracture or break. Moreover, even if it is a venomous snake, it may not be able to bite a cat, and cats can still fight wits and courage with it.

Snakes are visually impaired and cannot see anything stationary. Snakes also have poor hearing and cannot hear sounds traveling in the air.

And Uncle Cat has good eyesight and extremely high agility. Even if the snake bites him at a very fast speed, it will be in slow motion in Uncle Cat's eyes. It can slap the snake into its mouth while retreating.

A cat’s teeth and claws are also very sharp. If it scratches someone, there will definitely be three bloody marks. When cats fight snakes, they usually scratch them with their forearm paws first, rather than bite them rashly with their mouths.

Snake skin is easily torn by sharp objects, and most of the snake's internal organs are concentrated in its predecessor. In addition, snakes only know how to move forward and cannot turn around. For cats, snakes are almost all weak points. Therefore, in the battle between cats and snakes, cats basically win, while most poor snakes die from organ damage.
