Cobra in the garden

So we live in Thailand, heard some noise from the front of the house, and there were these Thai guys poking the bush. My husband goes out to ask what they're doing, and they tell us there's a small cobra.

My issue is we take care of a cat colony, our cats are indoors, but the colony obviously isn't, and we can't bring them in. There's 3 very cute kittens, but they're dumb as rocks. I'm really scared they'll think it's a great new toy and the snake might kill them.

Hopefully the 4 men poking around the garden with sticks and scared the snake off. But I'm not really sure if there's anything we can do? My husband said most times a cat will win in a fight with a snake and not to worry.
