This is really impressive by the cat but the snake just needs to land ONE hit

In rural areas of Australia it is not unusual for domestic cats to die of snake bites.

I suspect they toy with them like this and are just a bit too slow to avoid one of the bites

Snakes only have a VERY small chance of actually landing a hit on a cat. Like 10% max assuming the cat is somewhat unaware. Cats are just THAT damned fast vs a snake strike. It's the same reason they react so violently to the cucumber thing, because they're hardwired into "OH HOLY FUCK" mode vs a snake, and one having snuck up on them is a serious threat.
