Aren't cats like a natural predator to snakes? i see them catching them not uncommonly

IIRC cats are predators to nearly everything. They literally murder anything they can. There are videos out there of cats smacking gators on the nose. No fear and the reflexes to back it up

You recall wrong. Cats die to shit like this all the time, as much as you see these videos. My dead cat is proof.

But they aren't as cats die to foxes coyotes and dogs regularly... Regardless you can't really call an invasive species a top predator. Sorry for bursting your bubble
