I know we're not supposed to anthropomorphize animals.... But it reaaaally looks like cato is trying to teach snek to eat

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 51 points 5 days ago

If that's a behavior they do to kittens, I can see that being the case.

If anything, it's the cat who's anthrop... uh... felynomorphizing the snek

When this was posted on Reddit, people explained that the cat probably sees the snake as prey, and so brings it to the place where he/she eats prey.

That's a terrible explanation lol

I thought cats were scared of snakes and that’s why they jump from cucumbers.

Cats are actually pretty good at dealing with snakes thanks to their quick reaction. Though it's not a guarantee.

Yeah but for every cat rule there is another one that goes I'm doing my own thing and swims in the sea something.
