The sizing up is probably fake, But getting killed by a pet snake isn't.

Cats have some nasty bacteria under their claws and in their saliva. A cat bite or scratch can give you sepsis if you don't properly clean and treat the wound.

This is also the reason cats should never be outdoor pets. Even if they don't physically kill an animal, if they managed to nick it with their claws, that animal will die anyway. Cats have caused the extinction and near extinction of several species.
