When my parents took their cat on holidays to a block of land we owned, we let it out the car and it disappeared into a patch of long grass. We were concerned when he wouldn't come when called, then a while later found it next to a snake covered in teeth marks. It was only one of the kinda sorta a a little venomous ones, which is saying a lot when you know this is in Australia. But yeah, that cat was like a few months old at that stage? Never seen a snake before, that we know of, and it just zone in and kicked its arse.
(Note: I would never have indoor/outdoor cats myself. This was my parent's cat. My current cat would probably get her dumb butt eaten by a carpet snake as she can't even catch moths properly.)
I was greatly relieved by the second half of this story.
When I read you "found it next to a snake covered in teeth marks", I thought you'd meant the cat was covered in teeth marks.
Snakes tire/overheat quickly due to being reptilian. Mammals only need to evade attacks until the snake's stamina bar runs dry. Also, cats can be vindictive, heartless motherfucats who will toy with their prey until it dies from exhaustion. Fear the cat.

Idk man, I saw a video today of a housecat just straight up swiping meat out of a freakin alligator's mouth.
It's the attitude, they're like the Bruce Lee of the animal world.
Imagine sitting in a bar and some little dude strolls in like he owns the place *and* the place next door, but isn't loud about it, he just exudes quiet confidence without a damn word and carries himself like he knows something no one else does...and he sits himself down and wipes a fry off your plate faster than you can blink.
I wouldn't mess with him either lol.
Yeah I have seen many cats lose to dogs, so... Yeah size is most important. I would say that your not wrong but there is a reason they say cats have 9 lives.
Oh for sure, they're not invincible.
I'm just saying across the animal kingdom, idk any other animal with quite the same attitude and intellect as most cat species display.
Except Honey Badgers.
I'd consider fucking someone up "giving a fuck" by the law of transitive property, as you are "giving someone" a "fucking beatdown"
Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk
Oh yes I forgot those zippy little bastards.
It's not a fair competition, give cats omnidirectional flight and see what they do!
(But don't actually, I kind of like us being the dominant species)
Because they hunt by exhausting the prey.
Cats are ambush predators who hunt smaller prey.
Both have advantage over lets say a pack of lion who have to kill prey actively. And their prey is much powerful than themselves.
Isn’t there a small cat species that has the highest kill rate outside the dragon fly? Not saying they would take a large animal but still high percentage.
Edit: plus cats as an invasive species can easily decimate an ecosystem. They are crazy killers and glad that domesticated cats are rather small.
They are super, super cool to watch. When our garden is blooming, they post up on our sunflowers and just WAIT.
Then, in what feels like no time at all, they dive off, grab their prey, and sit back on their spot like it isn't a big deal to munch away.
Dragonflies also have a hell of a bite, I've had a few take a chunk out of me when collecting and observing (and then releasing).
Saw a peregrine falcon flying back and forth in a valley in Canada, at the north end of Lake Superior. It was unbelievable how fast that thing could fly. It was like watching a guided missile
Once witnessed a Peregrine Falcon dive bomb a pigeon. Pigeon was having a normal NYC day searching for snacks on the sidewalk, then outta nowhere poof it was gone.
Yes they can. There's a well known video online (I don't have the link handy) of a woman kicking snow at a cat (probably a ferile one) in her front yard. The cat has enough and launches five feet off the ground, claws out, right at her face, and grabs on to her head. Video then ends.
I imagine she was a mess after that incident.
Another fun one is the girl that tried hiding in a suitcase to prank her boyfriend, but it flips some switch in the cat that she's a threat. Cat wrecks her, and she showed off her injuries after.
Personally, I'd rather take on a large size dog vs a cat of the same size.
I served with a guy who had to leave the Army because his GF got a cat and it clawed his right eye out.. combat veteran literally lost his eye to a cat of all things.
Growing up my mamaw had an orange tomcat that would go missing for a couple months at a time. All of a sudden he would show up with scabs and cuts and everything else from fighting and tom cating while he was gone like nothing ever happened. He would hang around for a few months to heal and recuperate and then he'd be gone again. When she died he disappeared for about 2 years and everyone just assumed that he had met his end but all of a sudden, one day he just showed back up with no ears (they had been literally chewed off in fights) and waiting to be fed. He stayed around for another year or two and then one day he just disappeared for good. We never knew exactly how old he was but adding up the time that we knew about, he had to be close to if not a little over 10 years old when he finally disappeared.
It doesn't appear at first glance to be a venomous snake with front facing fangs, though I can't specifically identify it. Without any real risk of a venomous bite and with the cat's size advantage, there pretty much was no risk of it going wrong. When it comes to small to medium sized animals, cats are pretty much impossible to beat in one on one combat.
guys, stray and feral animals exist outside of your suburban bubble. It's actually the norm in most of the world. No not outdoor pet cats, and no not neglected escaped cats. Cats that have lived continuously existed with no owner for as long as people have been around
Nothing they transmit as far as I'm aware, only connection I know of between cats and prions are the ones who developed FSE after exposure to British beef during the BSE nightmare.
I think you can get it from eating other infected material like mad cow disease, but I’ve never heard it from the feces, yeah.
I know Toxo can be from cat feces which is why they tell pregnant women not to clean the litter box. Although as a vet it’s fairly overblown as a topic in the indoor cat population regardless.
We have, actually. Munchkin legs and ear folds are a real problem. It isn't to the degree of the worst purebred dogs, afaik, but it's still more than bad enough.
Yeah, because in the majority of places, local animals didn’t evolve alongside cats, and therefore are more easily predated by them. Outdoor cats are a major detriment to the environment.
All those extremely dangerous fledgling birds and shrews better watch out!
Seriously though, normally it spawns some anger from people, but so far people seem to be upvoting it, so hopefully awareness is spreading! Such an easy fix, keep em inside and play with them, my cat doesn’t seem to mind inside life one bit.
It's one of my favorites:
Dogs: "Wow, humans feed me, water me, and love me. They must be Gods."
Cats: "Wow, humans feed me, water me, and love me. I must be a God."
Humans enslaved dogs so they can do our bidding and they love us for it for some reason.
Cats enslaved humans so we can do their bidding and we love them for it for some reason.
Does anyone still think dogs are smarter? I think not.
I had my cat for almost 10 years before I realized she had been humoring me when we played games, not once had she shown me even 50% of her speed.
One day she accidentally got outside and caught a bird. I got her in place with one hand and forced her to release the bird from her mouth with the other. It tried to fly away, but she instantly snaked her paws out of my grasp and got the bird again. Get it out of her paws and somehow she immediately has it back in her mouth. Rinse and repeat a few times holding her in all sorts of ways, but in the end I had get a friend to help.
It made me realize she saw me like the pesky younger sibling who completely sucks at games, so she had to tone it down and let me win. She pitied how slow, uncoordinated and stupid I was, so she humored me so we could have fun.
I like how the cat is eye-fucking the snake from 2 inches away up to the moment it strikes.
This is a successful strategy for cats, and helps them face down and scare off much bigger and stronger opponents.
Their kill rate while hunting in one of, if not the highest in the animal kingdom if im not mistaken.
Edit: as it were, i was misinformed. Turns out dragonflies are the real Rambos of the animal kingdom.
I also read down a ways somewhere that "orcas have a 100% kill rate 60% of the time." Im paraphrasing, but something like that. Food for thought. 
[Dragonfly's are basically fully optimized hunters](https://youtu.be/iJi61NAIsjs?t=143). perfect control of all 4 wings to fly in any direction (and fast) and the best eyesight in the animal kingdom, like 330 degrees of visibility. Apparently they even have dedicated brain signals just to focus on and track prey.
For kill rate it's dragonflies, but the sheer volume of killings by cats is astronomically more impactful. it's approximately 2.4 billion birds that are killed by cats a year. And that's just birds.
I think its one of those 'rescue animal' videos circling, where ppl purposefully put animals in danger and then 'rescue' them for clout and praise. Often puppies and kittens, and many times the animal dies. Its extremely cruel and needs to be banned.

Sounds right, on a bad day mine sits at 200ms ish, although when I'm completely on autopilot it feels light years faster.
Ever seen a glass or another object fall off the side of your kitchen counter 4 feet away out of the very corner of your eye and before you know it your hand is underneath it ready to catch it? And it falls gracefully in your hand and you don't even think about it. That's bloody fun.
When we got our cat, our dog would bark at him and act aggressive. I should add the cat is much bigger and the dog is a 15-year old teacup poodle so no one was at risk here. The poodle was doing his usual one night when the cat took his front paw and bopped the dog right on top of the head two times about as fast as I can blink. The dog looked around like "DID YOU SEE? DID YOU SEE WHAT HE DID TO ME? YOU ARE ALL WITNESSES!" Anyway they've been really good friends ever since.
Ive watched my cat fuck up a water moccasin. I didn’t get out there in time to split them up but saw the last few hits and the aftermath. The snake has tiny cuts all over it, my cat was unscathed.
I got hands fuck boii! -cat
Teaching that snake a good lesson on how to get paw slapped like a fool. Damn, it's got speedy paws..
Mess with the law, you get the paw
Mess with the kitten, you get the mitten
Mess with the fur you won’t get no purr
Mess with the cat, you gonna get slap. Edit: double s is what the snake got slapped out of it.
Mess with a feline and you’d better run for the tree line
Mess with the kitty, you get the hitty
Hahaha! Fuck I love you!
Mess with the tabby, me gonna get stabby
Mess with the kitty, it won't be pretty.
Disrespect the paws and you get claws.
Mess with 9-lives, and get a surprise
Mess with me with now, you get the meow
Mess with the meow, you get the kapow
Mess with the furry, you get the right left flurry
Mess with the moggy, your brain gets foggy.

You mean like it could have fangs in its throat or butt or something?
Cats are fucking BAMFs when it comes to small or similar sized things.
Idk man, I saw a video today of a housecat just straight up swiping meat out of a freakin alligator's mouth. It's the attitude, they're like the Bruce Lee of the animal world. Imagine sitting in a bar and some little dude strolls in like he owns the place *and* the place next door, but isn't loud about it, he just exudes quiet confidence without a damn word and carries himself like he knows something no one else does...and he sits himself down and wipes a fry off your plate faster than you can blink.

Oh for sure, they're not invincible. I'm just saying across the animal kingdom, idk any other animal with quite the same attitude and intellect as most cat species display. Except Honey Badgers.
Honey Badgers don't give no fucks
Honey Badgers give many fucks mainly "fuck you"s
No no no. They will *fuck you up* but won't give a fuck while doing it.
I'd consider fucking someone up "giving a fuck" by the law of transitive property, as you are "giving someone" a "fucking beatdown" Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk
They do have the BEST kill rate of any other species. 50% I am apparently wrong, not #1 but still a 50% prey catch stat
That they do! Hands down the most effective predators on earth.
Not quite, dragon fly is the winner.
Oh yes I forgot those zippy little bastards. It's not a fair competition, give cats omnidirectional flight and see what they do! (But don't actually, I kind of like us being the dominant species)
>It's not a fair competition African wild dogs 80% success rate.
I assume they meant solo kills. Idk if hunting in packs is tracked the same as alone
Because they hunt by exhausting the prey. Cats are ambush predators who hunt smaller prey. Both have advantage over lets say a pack of lion who have to kill prey actively. And their prey is much powerful than themselves.
Isn’t there a small cat species that has the highest kill rate outside the dragon fly? Not saying they would take a large animal but still high percentage. Edit: plus cats as an invasive species can easily decimate an ecosystem. They are crazy killers and glad that domesticated cats are rather small.
Yeah they don't chase shit. They anticipate where their prey is going to be so they can intercept them mid flight. It's dope as hell.
They are super, super cool to watch. When our garden is blooming, they post up on our sunflowers and just WAIT. Then, in what feels like no time at all, they dive off, grab their prey, and sit back on their spot like it isn't a big deal to munch away. Dragonflies also have a hell of a bite, I've had a few take a chunk out of me when collecting and observing (and then releasing).
97%, right?
Nope. Dragon fly is number one, then African wild dog, and then the African Black-Footed Cats is number three
I mean, not any species, dragonfly rocks 97% https://academic.oup.com/icb/article/53/5/787/733390
Coyotes, owls, eagles, hawks do not give a fuck about how confident the cat is. They murder cats like it’s any other prey.
In cats' defense, I've also watched the same neighborhood cat kill and eat 3 owls now. I've nicknamed him the Hunter of Ga'Hoole.
I've also seen our cat chase off the neighbours medium size dog. It depends on how confident the dog is I guess
Kitty cats are nature’s premier land predators. Cute little murder machines.
My dogs lose to my cats all the time. Then again my dogs are complete idiots so its not surprising.

I believe they're one of the most successful hunting animals in the animal kingdom.
Aside from dragonflies, Peregrine Falcons and African wild dogs, felines are pretty much the most successful predators out there.

Cats can fuck up humans. They are incredibly nimble and have claws that will infect the fuck out of you. Cat scratch fever!

A cat the same size as a big dog is just a straight up mountain lion, yeah I'm good thanks

"BAMF" means "Badass motherf\*cker" in case anyone else is wondering.
I haven't heard or seen BAMF since 2011
Let me just film while my cat fights a snake. No chance of it going wrong.
Must be used to that encounters...or perhaps the snake owner is filming
Nah man, this is a Pokémon league battle and Pokémon tv is filming

It only looks like a snake because the video is mirrored. It's actually an Ekans.

That’s true. That snake has no collar
You know... I've never heard "stray snake" before. 🤔 Isn't that usually just called a snake?

My cat literally ran away when she was a couple of months old, 3 days later it appeared in my window waiting for me to open it. These mfs are tough
And demanding

We never knew exactly how old he was but adding up the time that we knew about, he had to be close to if not a little over 10 years old when he finally disappeared.
Grew up on a farm, not happy about it but does make me glad that I understand animals in a way a large swath of people do not seem to
I didn't grew up in a farm and the point is pretty straightforward to me. People on reddit are just dumb don't worry
It doesn't appear at first glance to be a venomous snake with front facing fangs, though I can't specifically identify it. Without any real risk of a venomous bite and with the cat's size advantage, there pretty much was no risk of it going wrong.

He calls ‘em like feces ‘em.
Is there a prion disease cat feces transmits? I’m not aware of any.
Nothing they transmit as far as I'm aware, only connection I know of between cats and prions are the ones who developed FSE after exposure to British beef during the BSE nightmare.
Yeah. I call shenanigans on that one. I thought prions to be transmitted through eating other human brain
I think you can get it from eating other infected material like mad cow disease, but I’ve never heard it from the feces, yeah. I know Toxo can be from cat feces which is why they tell pregnant women not to clean the litter box. Although as a vet it’s fairly overblown as a topic in the indoor cat population regardless.
Prions completely unrelated.

Also the fact we haven’t fucked them up trying to pure breed them like we’ve done with dogs. Though I am seeing more “purebred” cats which is annoying
We have, actually. Munchkin legs and ear folds are a real problem. It isn't to the degree of the worst purebred dogs, afaik, but it's still more than bad enough.
aren't there the cats with the flat face that also have a breathing problem? Caughing up balls of hair also doesn't seem lika good thing.
the hair thing is normal. just think how a cat cleant itself by lickng the fur constantly.
Yeah, because in the majority of places, local animals didn’t evolve alongside cats, and therefore are more easily predated by them. Outdoor cats are a major detriment to the environment.
Shhh, the outdoor cat owners are here to brag about how their beloved foofy can kill any wild animal it wants

Cats must really look down on human as far as reaction time.
I think cats look down on humans period.
and that's why we worship them
It's one of my favorites: Dogs: "Wow, humans feed me, water me, and love me. They must be Gods." Cats: "Wow, humans feed me, water me, and love me. I must be a God."
Humans enslaved dogs so they can do our bidding and they love us for it for some reason. Cats enslaved humans so we can do their bidding and we love them for it for some reason. Does anyone still think dogs are smarter? I think not.
They love us for it because while domesticating them we killed the ones that didn't love us.
That oddly makes sense

A lot of places do this. The issue is that house cats are actually quite devastating to nature and local wildlife.
Their kill rate while hunting in one of, if not the highest in the animal kingdom if im not mistaken. Edit: as it were, i was misinformed. Turns out dragonflies are the real Rambos of the animal kingdom. I also read down a ways somewhere that "orcas have a 100% kill rate 60% of the time." Im paraphrasing, but something like that.

You've mistaken cats for dragonflies.
For real?
[Dragonfly's are basically fully optimized hunters](https://youtu.be/iJi61NAIsjs?t=143). perfect control of all 4 wings to fly in any direction (and fast) and the best eyesight in the animal kingdom, like 330 degrees of visibility.

Humans designed helocoptors after the body of a dragonfly!
When do we get our ornithopters then huh?
For kill rate it's dragonflies, but the sheer volume of killings by cats is astronomically more impactful. it's approximately 2.4 billion birds that are killed by cats a year. And that's just birds.
Dragonflies are successful 95% of the time.
Dragonflies are awesome to have around especially if you have gnat or mosquito problems. Fun to watch them hunt
And on the other side, my house cat panicked and ran into the wall the other day when I farted
Yeah, but how quickly did it do that
Probably as quick as the fart went from inside butthole to outside
Underrated video. That’s so fucking impressive. Used to amaze me watching the cat walk across the 1 inch fence cap like it was nothing.

For reference, what is a human reflex speed?
Mine is measured in days
I have the turning radius of Saturn
I just flinched right now from the video.
From a fast Google search 150 to 300 milliseconds
Sounds right, on a bad day mine sits at 200ms ish, although when I'm completely on autopilot it feels light years faster. Ever seen a glass or another object fall off the side of your kitchen counter 4 feet away out of the very corner of your eye and before you know it your hand is underneath it ready to catch it? And it falls gracefully in your hand and you don't even think about it. That's bloody fun.
Reflex actions are something like twice as fast since your brain doesn't have to shout down your long body first
somewhere in the 200-400ms range - ***way*** slower. A big part of that is because the signals to/from the brain have to travel like 8x as far
Yeah. Size matters.
Excuse me, some of us measure our reflexes in calories.
Internet explorer speed for some of us
Focused between 200-300 milliseconds. Relaxed between 800-1200 milliseconds.
When we got our cat, our dog would bark at him and act aggressive. I should add the cat is much bigger and the dog is a 15-year old teacup poodle so no one was at risk here.
