Again, you are doing more of the same... "no threat to the cat". It's a simple, automatic fight or flight response from a primitive animal... not a matter of conscious reasoning by a complex brain.
Further, you pretend to know what the cat is thinking or perceives, which is silly.
I can't remember seeing a cat NOT stand it's ground when an aggressive dog is running toward it with obvious hostile intent. My cats used to beat the shit out of our dogs and any other dog that came within striking distance.
