> Nothing is too quick for them.

Cats even have a faster average reaction time than snakes.

But they'll never hunt a snake. They have an inbuilt terror of them. This is why they jump at cucumbers and hiss (trying to scare others with snake sounds)

Snakes are not a preferred target of cats but they will take them out.

From personal experience. Came home on a hot summer day. Let the cat loose and it immediately began to act unusual and drew our attention to a snake that had made it into the house. "Petals" ended the snake in short order without much fanfare.

I think the cucumber thing is about being surprised by something snake like. They'll absolutely fuck with snakes (depending on their personality).
