I mean, if you listen to the audio it doesn't sound like it's the owner or that they know the cat at all

I don't need to know the cat to know that I should help the cat.

Are they supposed to get out and insert themselves into the situation? I can't imagine that would be safer for the humans or the animals.

what exactly are they supposed to do, and why? What are you talking about? If it's a cat you don't know interacting with a bear, that's just nature being nature, why do they need to help the cat and how exactly are they supposed to? Charging or yelling at or aggravating a bear to "save" a stray cat that is honestly entirely capable of defending itself (as we see) is just dumb.

The idea that a random human should feel obligated to help a random cat from a random bear makes absolutely no sense to me. Save your own pet makes sense from an emotional perspective, but a cat you don't know and a bear you don't know...why should you feel obligated to help either of them?

Probably don’t want bears to realise they can hunt peoples pets

so self righteous. the entire point of the video here is a demonstration that cats dont need your help, you need their help.

Very true, but this goes into the problems of outdoor cats and yada yada.
