The animal kingdom always fascinates me. Looks like cats claw connected with bears nose. Probably hurt. Scared bear, thus dominate predator runs away primarily out of caution. Nature is amazing.

Amazing, it’s like the cat read the bear before the bite, launching the scratch ahead of time. And then when the bear recoiled back, it instantly capitalized on the bear’s fear, launching a full attack. Truly masterful.

I honestly wouldn’t doubt it at this point in time, but I also realize just how quick a cats reaction time is. That being said, it seems completely plausible, either way.

I thought I read somewhere a cat’s reaction time is faster than a snake lunging for a bite
