Can cats killl snakes?

Answers:
A cat can kill just about anything that isn't too much larger than itself.
They have the instinct to seperate the first cervical vertebrae from the base of the skull to enable a quick kill.

Yes. They can hunt and kill snakes, but it is unlikely that a kitten would be able to and if the snake is poisonous they could get hurt badly.

---

yea i think so. what kind of snake

---

Yes cats are great hunters and great snake killers.

---

I'm unlikley a well-fed domestic house cat would. But in the wild definitly, unless the snake is posinous!
Probably a kitten wouldn't do it either.

---

Yes Cats can kill snakes. They will, if given the opportunity to, will play with them and in turn kill them. Just think about it cats like to play with string and other string like toys. A snake is just a giant string, and it will move by itself. My cat actually took my brothers snake out of the tank and played with it. We caught it in time to save the snakes life. He was pretty banged up though and it took a long time for him to heal.
Now if it is a poisenous snake the cat can be badly hurt.

---

absolutely!

---

yeah, they can hunt pretty well, my cats killed a rabbit once

---

yes, cats are hunters and they will hunt, but with a snake they have to be really alert as if the snake strkes first cat loses,

---

I guess it depends on what kind of snake it is. One of my cats killed and brought home a little bitty snake before.

---

yes, unless the snake is big enough to eat the cat

---

yep...it goes both ways...
cat can kill a snake... snake can kill a cat

---

A cat can kill a snake,they are very good hunters, but a domesticated pet one usually wouldn't, especially if it was a well fed one. The snake can also kill the cat, if it has venom. So if you have a pet cat, they the cat may kill the snake or the snake may kill the cat if it is venemous. Some pet cats will hunt down and kill a snake or bird even though it's not hungry, though.

---

what kind of snake, yes cats can

---

In one simple word... YES! Cats are carnivores, hunters, and aggressive, intelligent, creatures. They can and will kill snakes of all types.

depends what kind of snake it is ???
