Watch this brave stray cat stand its ground against an intruding snake in Pathum Thani, Thailand.

The filmer told Newsflare: "This was the scene this morning in my backyard. In this tense wildlife encounter, a fearless stray cat takes on an unexpected intruder, a snake perched along a garden wall.

"The two lock eyes in a frozen standoff, each calculating the other’s move. The cat stays grounded but alert, its body language showing both curiosity and confidence. After several suspenseful seconds, the cat explodes into action, striking the snake twice with lightning-fast precision.

"Startled, the snake retreats along the wall and disappears into the undergrowth. This rare moment of feline bravery shows nature’s drama unfolding right in the middle of an ordinary backyard. I have noticed this little cat many times on my back wall, and have given it snacks in the past. Today he paid back my kindness by protecting my back yard from this slithering intruder."
