Why are cats not afraid of snakes?

As the saying goes: "Once bitten, twice shy", it can be seen that snakes are still terrible in people's eyes, and being bitten by snakes may leave a lifelong psychological shadow. However, our lovely cat is not afraid of snakes. When it meets a snake, it will fight the other side for 300 rounds and hit the snake to the north. Why are cats not afraid of snakes?

First of all, don't be fooled by the cute appearance of cats. Man is a talented hunter who specializes in killing all small animals, including mice, birds, snakes, insects and so on. Some wild cats prey on snakes. For example, wild cats in the Caribbean prey on pythons. Although domestic cats are not short of food, due to their hunting nature, all small animals entering their territory will still be killed without forgiveness.

In people's eyes, snakes attack very fast and are bitten in the blink of an eye. But compared with cats, the speed of snakes is undoubtedly slow motion. Moreover, cats are very confident about their reaction speed. At the moment when the snake poked its head out quickly, the cat had jumped back. In addition, cats will also pay attention to strategic skills when they hit snakes. Because it is difficult for a snake to turn its head, the cat will constantly change direction around the snake to attack, so in the end, the snake is basically dizzy. In addition, cats know how to hit a snake seven inches, and often wait until the snake looks up, quickly bite the snake's neck and kill it with one blow.

It is also worth noting that not all snakes can beat cats, and some boa constrictors or poisonous snakes still pose a threat to cats. Although cats are not afraid of snakes, they are not immune to snake venom. In addition, underage kittens are likely to become a dish for snakes because of their limited combat effectiveness. In this case, the owner should prevent the cat from provoking the snake.
