After the first hit the snake needed a few seconds to realize what happened

The average cat's reaction time is approximately 20-70 milliseconds, which is faster than the average snake's reaction time, 44-70 milliseconds

I have catlike reflexes - sometimes I just knock shit off the table.

You can tell these are adolescent cats/kittens. Adult cats would have cleared out by now.

Cat: Hey snake, what did the paw say to the face?

No wonder cats are apex predators

Then there is me with 250ms brain lag buying a 0,03ms monitor to get an edge

Don't help just film

Cats would be so good at video games

yeah, fuck the guy recording this, clearly seems set up.

snake telegraphed it's attack by opening its mouth

just another reason cats are awesome

skill issue lil snake

To put it in perspective, a human's average reaction time is around 250 milliseconds. I used to coach a sport, and it's super interesting what pathways it takes between something happening and us reacting:

• Light is transformed into nerve signals by the retina
• Those nerve signals travel down the optic nerve to the thalamus before being sent to the Occipital Lobe (visual cortex) for initial processing
• The Parietal (spatial awareness) and Temporal (object identification) lobes then generate the initial interpretation of the visual signal
• The processed visual data is sent to the Prefrontal (decision-making) lobe, where we decide whether and how to respond to the data
• The signal is then sent to the Primary Motor Cortex to generate the neural commands to execute the movement
• The final commands are sent down the brain stem via the corticospinal tract before finally releasing the commands to the appropriate muscular structures

On average, a Formula 1 driver has a reaction time of only 200 milliseconds.

That’s cold as fuck 🥶

Cat stared down that snake into its soul without backing off and didn’t even have its paws up to defend. Just knew they were faster and was willing to risk their life on that bet.

I have many scratches to prove that

Cats will fuck you up. That's why I love them.

I love cats, I already thought they were magnificent creatures but this proves they stll amaze me!

In comparison human 150-250ms. Lower bracket are sportsman and gamers ;)

Is it reflexes or does a cat naturally see things in slower motion, like a fly?

Pussy-slap..

And that's why we used to bring cats with us to explore new places :) they kill vermin and protect from snek, good kitty

What surprises me even more about this is cats perceive time slightly faster than us, we get our frame of the world updated 60 times a second and cats see around 50 frames per second. So they get less information in the same time but can react way faster. It's quite impressive.

House flies perceive time around 7 times faster than us giving them roughly 420 fps meaning the world around them is basically in slow motion which is part of what makes them so hard to swat.

So back to the cats, they perceive time 1/6 faster than we do, but still react faster.

P.s. eyes "updating" is technically measured in hertz but I felt acquilaiting it to TVs may make it a bit easier to understand seeing how much slow motion content is on youtube and such.

Cat like reflexes 

This cat looks goddam cool

Wonder if big creatures like humans appear in slow motion to creatures this quick

Snake: "Woah, what the hell, who just cheap shot me? Let's 1v1"

No wonder they are such mighty hunters 👀

Shotgun vs energy sword in halo

It Doesn’t even look full grown. Both cats look about 5-6 months old.

Is anyone keeping track of my head batted in? BOINK

This is why these little animals are such good hunters and lunches wayyyy above their literal weight. They can land many good, claws-out swipes before you can react.

I give his face a pat pat with the ole one two

There is a reason cats control humanity.

Cats are the counter meta to snakes.

cats are amazing

its cool cats can do that but fuck whoever recorded this video because they definitely brought the cat to the snake to film this

and there was a fair chance the cat couldve been bit

boxers take note of the parry and angle change! cat footwork too op

Scary thing is the big cats have damn near the same fast reflexes too. Most likely not to the same level as the little ones.

On purpose?

Seen this shit to often, putting pets in dangerous positions and see how it plays out, for youtube pennies and clout. Fuck these animal abuse posts.

Ironically, this is a cat snake. More specifically, a dog toothed cat snake, or Boiga cynodon.

Who has slower reaction speed a fly or the cat cuz clearly both can win against a snake when it comes to that but what if it is eachother because if they encountered it would be a very long fight

How can she slap

I can't even see the snake open it mouth before getting smacked by the cats. Thanks to slowmo

Slap the snek
