While I have no doubt you heard something, the lack of vocal chords pretty much precludes a snake vocalizing anything.

I've heard gasps and wheezes and sneezes and coughs but NEVER a cry like a kitten.

I don't think you're making that part up but I do think you may be anthropomorphizing a bit.

As I mentioned, the details of this supposed sitting upon of would be useful in determining just what exactly happened.

About a million years ago a guy name of Al Robbins used to do presentations with his reptiles at schools. Part of his show was where he sat on a sidewinder to show how it didn't bother the snake. I think he sat on a big ol retic too but am unclear on that. The sidewinder had it's mouth sewn shut so it couldn't bite but he sat the heck out of it time and again.

I'm not doubting you got an injured or sick snake, I'm just doubting the story you were handed with it.
