the cucumber cat meme is performed by silently and sneakily placing a cucumber near them while their attention is 100% focused om another activity, like eating, so that they lose awareness of their surroundings. This causes the cat to be startled when it looks around, trying to regain awareness and suddenly spots a large thing which looks like it is creeping up on him.

If you give a cat a cucumber while he is looking I guarantee 100% he will not give a shit.

Because cats are idiots and cucumbers look like snakes.

Getting spooked by an unexpected, potentially life threatening situation is hardly dumb. The key word here being unexpected.

I expect it has more to do with the sneaky placement routine. You would probably get the same reaction if you put an eggplant or something instead.

House cat ancestors are cats that share space with many species of snake that can kill or eat them. Theres a reason cats get startled easy by things that move and they don't know what it is.

It looks like a snake and it is a new thing that materialized itself while it was eating (aka feeling comfy and secure as fuck).

It's a real dick move tbqh senpai.

Cats are not afraid of snakes, they are actually very good at killing snakes well except for the huge ones of course.

Of course they hunt snakes. But that doesn't mean they aren't scared of them. What logic is that?
