Cat inspects a python ‘Give that cat a bravery award’

It’s odd to see a python in a residential area with a cat sitting calmly watching it. In a video filmed in Thailand that has received thousands of views, the large python can be seen scaling a structure and the cat inching closer to the snake without expressing any concern.

The cat can be seen looking at the python around 26 seconds into YouTube channel ViralHog’s 58-second video. ViralHog captioned the video, “I couldn’t believe that the snake would climb so high.”

Various social media accounts quickly picked up the video, startling netizens all around the world.
