What kind of bear do you have there? In NJ we just have black bears and the most they do is turn over garbage bins and poop in the lawn. The poop is the worst part. Does a bear do it's business in the woods- no, they toilet on lawns surrounded by tea roses!
I can't see a cat facing a bear but then again I'm picturing domestic moggie cats. Mine would stay away anyway- well at least 3 out of the 4 would.
Your original post did not state that. I can't imagine a house cat stalking a bear, hence my post thinking you meant a large cat.
House cats are as smart as their counterparts (big cats) intelligent, and just the smell would tell them a hundred different things, like animal, ferocity, size, "I'm too big for you to take on"...
No house cat would ever stalk a bear. Smell the paw print? Yes, Follow the trail up to the creature? No.
*Cougars are: Mountain lions. Pumas. Florida Panthers. Texas Panthers. Mexican Panthers coming into San Diego area. All the same animal, with a few subspecies genetics thrown in....

I'm going to try to get some pictures or videos this year but those little coons are hard to keep up with. I can't open the door when they are out there because they try to run in the house. One did that least year and it was quite a commotion.
He ran in and didn't know where he was and panicked. He peed on the floor and hid under a chair. But there was already a cat under there and several more just sitting around watching what was going on. Mama Coon was outside getting very anxious but she wouldn't come in to get him. If we left, she would probably would have.
I didn't have any gloves handy so I threw a towel over him and picked him up. He was safely wrapped in the towel so I took him back out and gave him to his mother.
Another Mama Coon just brought her two babies.
The one in the picture just saw his first human, me.
