Flawless victory.

The food chain in action.

At first I thought the plaintive meowing meant the snake had tagged the kitty.

Then I realized that was a war cry.

AKA: Snake in the Eagle's Shadow

My cat did this once. She spent the next two days in a state of sedation, unable to do much more than flop over. She lived, thank jeebus.

I THINK this is a Telescopus fallax, or European Cat Snake. That would be highly appropriate.

The narrator's wry chuckling underscores the cat's victory.

If it were me behind the camera I'd have been screaming OOOOOH SHIT DID YOU SEE THAAAAAAAAAAT at the top of my lungs.

CAT FIGHT SNAKE

RIKKI-TIKKI-KITTY

Jesus, cat. A reptile just sunning quietly and then you get all up in its business.

Oh, OK. At first I thought the snake had finally had enough and had clamped onto the cat's snout.

This is so beautiful, you go you not-entirely-domesticated feline. Anybody recognize the license plate on the car?

5 stars, plus 5 invisistars for proper use of the 'also his balls are huge' tag.

It speaks to something fundamentally different between the natures of man and feline that when a cat sees a snake, it thinks "I am just going to go fuck with that thing SO HARD."

i'd like to use this space to remind people that cats essentially stopped evolving several thousands of years ago because they had already become the perfect hunting and killing machine in their size class
