My kitten killed a snake and ate a bird, now hasn’t come back; is a cat biting a snake dangerous?

Whether a cat biting a snake is dangerous depends on if the snake is venomous and where the cat bit. Even a venomous snake is safe if no venom contacts the cat, unless a fang accidentally wounds it, which can be fatal.

Cats usually are not afraid of snakes and are agile, rarely bitten; they often swat the snake with paws, damaging its organs. Still, do not let cats face large, highly venomous snakes to avoid injury.
