Cats will be cats and they like to play, catch, and kill so I say keep them apart. I have never seen a cat or snake that was trained to drop it, leave it, or release. So getting them apart if they lock up is going to be tough.

There is nothing to gain from this and its not worth the risk.
By the time a kitten is 4 weeks old, they are typically 0.5-1 pound at by 8 weeks are 1.5-2 pounds. Would a BP strike at a kitten and a large adult possibly latch on? I suppose it could happen without proper supervision. Would I be worried about the snake "choking out" the kitten before I'd be worried about the kitten injuring the snake? No.

Either way, I don't recommend having a play date.
