Copperheads don’t have the rattlesnake type fangs. The don’t move as fast as some other snakes, either. A copperhead sort of gnaws its venom into a bite wound.

Are you confusing copperheads with coral snakes? Coral snakes have to gnaw to inject venom. Copperheads, rattlesnakes, and water moccasins have long, retractable hypodermic fangs. Being pit vipers, all three of them have quick and accurate strikes. Coral snakes, on the other hand, being an elapid tend to have a relatively slow strike and have to gnaw to deliver venom, due in part to its short, non-retractable fangs.

““Wonder how the cat did it without getting bit? “

cats have amazing reflexes and are amazingly fast ... if you’ve ever seen a couple of house cats fighting they look exactly like those cartoon blurs of fighting animals ...

Never make a cat angry. I have seen what they can do to even a human.
