    Turn your back to it and run, this will not activate a cats natural instinct to attack. It also helps to spray cat urine on your shoes while hiking. Lol

    No , our black lab does wonders with big cats and black bears ….very effective and knows we’re right there as well . When you have 3 males in the group camping with the dog , things are greatly safer and make for more comfortable camping experiences with the wifes .
