if my cat sees me picking up an electrical extension cord, a length of rope, or even a dangly new shoelace fresh out of wrapper, my cat appears to go on high alert as if scared, and i always wonder: is this behavior because the sinuous shape of the electric cord, rope, and shoelace reminds my cat instinctively of the danger of a snake.

Interesting. When my Maine Coon, Maverick, was 14 he was bitten by a cottonmouth on one of his front paws. Vet said it was obviously a mature adult, meaning lots of venom, because of the bite marks. Also said another 1/2 hour or so and Maverick wouldn’t have made it. He made it to twenty 😺. Just lost him to old age a few months ago. Sure do miss that big fluff ball.
I once witnessed a pair of blue jays dive-bomb and strike at the head of an eastern racer as it repeatedly attempted to ascend a jack-pine and make its way towards their nest- only to be sent to the ground each time by their well coordinated attacks, and ultimately chased away into the underbrush.
(no cats involved in the mix of this particular fracas - I can only imagine...)
Love the fearless cat! I have to confess though that your worms have been on my mind. The world is in peril and I’m wondering how your worms are doing. I can’t explain that.
Between snakes:
Snake 1: Are we poisonous?
Snake 2: I don’t know. Why?
Snake 1: I just bit my lip.

God, I love cats!
Cats are the ultimate Ninjas

Creepy, but amazing. I hope the cat left the scene.
Nice right hand punch kitty cat!
I've been on the losing end of those reflexes many a time (playfighting) .
