I was at the veterinarian and noticed that they sell a rattlesnake vaccine for dogs. I asked why they don't have one for cats, and the vet said "Because cats aren't stupid enough to get bit by rattlesnakes."

[@technocatdance]

Rattlesnake bites to cats are a fair amount less common because of the agility cats have. ... But, if the cat is inexperienced when it comes to hunting or is just overall less agile, bites can and certainly do happen

[@wasidanatsali6374]

I asked my vet about the rattlesnake vax for dogs because there are a lot of rattlers in my area. He said they weren’t worth the risk to reward. They’re only good for about 30 days and dogs can have allergic reactions to them. They’re mostly used on SAR dogs going into disaster areas where a lot of rattlers have been displaced. Then he told me he’d treated a lot rattler bit dogs and only seen two that died. Both were Jack Russels that got bit multiple times. My vet is a straight shooter. He doesn’t BS people in order to milk money out of them.

Cats are pretty much the natural predator of snakes along with raptors. Their fur protects them from most bites and most likely a paw bite won't inject poison into the blood. (overpen) Once the fight started if the Snake didn't retreat the ending was a foregone conclusion.

[@redwolfexr]

@urapp over penetration. If the fang goes all the way through the poison won't inject. If you have a cat look at how their legs are built. Not much meat and if the snake DOES get a good grip they are going to bite all the way through.

[@jlg4ever]

Yeah, furry quick four-legged mammals like cats and mongeese have a big advantage over cold-blooded snakes. Snakes just don't have the endurance for a long fight. They win by striking quick and either disabling or frightening off their foe. Cats just patiently wait them out, slapping their heads from a relatively safe distance until the snake tires out, then crunch on the neck and skull, and then dinner is served.

Bobcats eat rattlesnakes, yet they aren’t immune to rattlesnake venom. So how does it work? Apparently, the wild felines have perfected a technique of slapping the snakes silly, judging from a trail camera video recorded Oct. 6 in Angeles National Forest near San Fernando, California. It starts with a bobcat veering off a hiking trail in search of something just out of view. An explosion of rattles can be heard as the cat hops backwards back into view. In the minutes that follow, a rattlesnake (about 4 feet in length) is seen lunging repeatedly at the bobcat, which steps forward each time to slap the reptile’s open mouth to the ground. The turning point comes when the bobcat manages to sink claws into the snake’s head, pulling it close enough to bite just behind the eyes. Within seconds, the rattling stops and the snake falls limp. The bobcat is seen dragging the snake off into the bushes. However, the cat then returns to the spot to roll victoriously in the dirt - twice. It’s not clear if the bobcat was bitten at any point. Martinez’s video has been shared more than 43,000 times and prompted more than 3,000 comments, including some who argued it might be a lynx, rather than a bobcat.

@asad asd but that makes 0 sense it's just humans controlling other humans lol, there's no animal on earth that controls humans, and your argument is dumb why would I do that? The whole reason we rule the planet is because we are smart, I'd just get a hunting rifle and shoot it from a distance where it wouldn't even know it was in danger and about to die, animals are stupid as fuck, we are the ultimate predator

[@user-ok9fo3so5n]

A lynx can beat a rattlesnake, but a cat cannot beat a large rattlesnake. In fact, there was a case where a cat was eaten by a Gaboon Viper, which is similar in size to the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, the largest rattlesnake.

[@santaclause4285]

Kudos to the cameraman who stayed calm and steady throughout this ordeal!

[@questtech7148]

@hankakah I pretty sure it didn't get bit or atleast wasn't able to inject venom. When Rattlesnakes bite and inject they hold the bite for a few seconds, and also potent venom bites are very painful and felines have no resistance to Rattlesnake venom.

[@NADER-86]

I thought for sure he would get tagged a few times but he was ON POINT. A rattlesnake is deadly quick but with almost no effort the Medium sized bobcat rocked him. VERY IMPRESSIVE NATURE! THANKS TO THE GAME CAMERA OWNER AND TECHNOLOGY THERE!

[@NADER-86]

@@santaclause4285 it's a Game Camera

[@questtech7148]

@hankakah I'm sure that is possible that snake only injected a small amount, The first symptom from the venom would be lots of pain in the bite area from the venom destroying the tissue and local circulation. The Bobcat would certainly be licking the painful bite area. But perhaps it wasn't enough to do much damage.
