kristonium:who told you snake bites can affects cats? Their furs are just furs. The reason why snake get rarely bitten is that they have a much faster reaction time that the snakes. So they see the snake strike faster and react much faster than the snake can strike. Nothing to do with furs. |

GanagiBitrus:You are very wrong, cats have better reaction time than mongoose. Mongoose gets bitten but their nature is designed to withstand or neutralize the venom, but a cobra can never bite a cat unless it's sleeping. |

GanagiBitrus:Every animal will fight for either food or territory. A cat might decide to back out if the snake isn't in his territory, maybe outside or far from the house. Anything within the environment, it's a fight till death. We had 15 cats in our family house, my grandmother was a lover of cats. |

kristonium:jesus ? cats has a very fast reflex or should i say cats are faster than snakes attack. but in some cases a miscalculated evasion of the attack by the snakes can lead to a poisonous strike that would kill the cat.. the fur doest save them just speed and reflex |
| Re: Do Cats Kill Snakes? by davillian(m): 11:58pm On Feb 03 |
adeoyekay:fur doest save your cats from snakes venom. only your cats speeds and reflex can save it only when calculated efficiently. any failed calculations your cat is gone. |

You see that kind of big Cobra or an African mamba, enh vs a cat and you say the cat will kill those types? That would be 10/90 chances The cat may be faster, but the serpent would definitely be more precisive Abeg the only known documented champions are 1. Honey Badgers 2. Mongoose 3. Golden Eagle (that's even when the snake is not suspecting) I'll rather domesticate a Honey badger than a cat for this purpose, but I don't think honey Badgers can be easily tamed, those animals are unforgiving and will even be bold enough to attack anyone or anything believe me |

Offpoint1:OK. That's means you'd be familiar with the fact that Cats often toy around with with rats/lizards before eating them. That could be deadly with a venomous snake like Cobra. Even the venom of a dead Cobra is still potent for a long while. Look Bro, chances of a Cat getting a dose of venom in a confrontation is quite high, even if the Cat kills the Cobra. |
| Re: Do Cats Kill Snakes? by GanagiBitrus: 7:27am On Feb 04 |
EdiskyHarry:You are getting it mixed up. If you are familiar with cats, they often toy around with prey (rats/lizards) before eating them. That would be deadly with a venomous snake like Cobra. Also, the venom of a Cobra is still potent even long after death. As for the Mongoose, they are natural snake hunters, & have developed skills to hunt down & kill/eat any snake that crosses it's path, with little or no chance of being bitten or killed by the snake. |

| Re: Do Cats Kill Snakes? by Ceejayooo(f): 11:07am On Feb 04 |
YES, cats advantage is their reflex.....snakes size matters too but its impotant to keep a cat at home cos even if it cant kill the snake, it will bring your attention to it hence you'd be safe. |

VicM6:Your African mentality has nothing to do with her love for animals. Our house is a mini zoo |

Redman44:The percentage of you seeing it or buying it is 0.000% so just commot mind for such option. You can rear guinea fowl for such purpose too and also ensure your surrounding is clean |

IMPARTIAL:feral cats can kills venomous snakes in Australia there have been reports of feral cats preying on highly venomous snakes |

JuanDeDios:Geese? You're actually better off with chickens. |
| Re: Do Cats Kill Snakes? by GanagiBitrus: 1:38pm On Feb 04 |
KillerOfCrackas:Not with ease Bro. It goes with high risk of being bitten like I stated... The risks are even higher for a domesticated cat, which the OP referred to. Convince yourself...
|
| Re: Do Cats Kill Snakes? by KillerOfCrackas: 1:58pm On Feb 04 |
GanagiBitrus:true but also take note that feral cats kill for food and they are more experienced hunters while domestic cats kills for the fun of killing and feral cats grow much larger than domestic cats so their is a higher chance of them killing a cobra |
| Re: Do Cats Kill Snakes? by JuanDeDios: 2:42pm On Feb 04 |
Alusiizizi:Chickens? But geese kill and eat snakes like they're snacks. I guess chickens can do that too, but only very tiny ones, as size is everything in the animal kingdom, right? |
| Re: Do Cats Kill Snakes? by Alusiizizi(m): 4:06pm On Feb 04 |
JuanDeDios:This is information that I got from working farmers. Chickens are the best for pest control, rats, snakes, e.t.c. Supposedly, geese are much less effective. |

GanagiBitrus:My dog also killed 3 snakes in the last 4 years |
