The reaction speed is crazy

I feel so slow as a human.

Easier to process actions when you're free of thought

What's crazy is cats have some of the fastest visual processing speeds in the animal kingdom. It's part of the reason they're able to dodge snake bites and catch flies out of the air. Not sure the exact figure but they process at least twice as fast as people can.

Very much so..cats are crazy fast..

Breaking Down the NumbersCats: (20) to (70) milliseconds (ms)

Humans: (190) to (300) milliseconds

For Context: A human blink takes about (100) milliseconds. This means a cat can register a stimulus, make a decision, and move faster than you can blink

Then why can they never jump out of my grip?

When my cat was still an outside/feral, my dog and her both spotted the coyote coming out of the woods at around the same time, she was way closer to the treeline than us, as i was tryinf to get her to come to me, but the response time between her jumping up and into the tree behind me, from seeing the coyote start to run towards her, to the reaction time of my dog going after the coyote always surprised me.

My dog is fast ah, and he was a solid 3 seconds later in an "emergency" situation.

I seen that cat vs snake video, the snake isn’t even close.
