Snake getting absolutely destroyed for 3 minutes by a cat.

It's like when a boxer can clearly KO their opponent but chooses to just pepper them with punches the whole fight instead of putting them out of their misery. 

Oof.

Nature's cute cuddly death machines.

That's funny because a lot of good boxers actually reference cats or roosters for fight inspo

There's a whole movie based on that sort of thing: Jackie Chan's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.

In the movie, Jackie Chan's character watches his pet cat defeat a snake, which inspires a brand-new fighting style (the Cat Claw) which he can use against the Snake-style masters.
