When I had my oversize black lab, he was inclined to chase cats. We took him to visit my sister in Missouri who had a cat and at least four dogs. The cat was not in the least intimidated by any dog. The first time my dog saw the cat, he charged full-bore, but stopped short when he realized the cat was not going to move. The cat (who was not particularly large) didn't hiss, bare his fangs or even raise a paw. He just stared him down.
My dog looked at me ("please tell me what's going on here") then the cat then me again and then walked away - a bit despondent. He never chased another cat.
I am a dog person for life, but I have tremendous respect for cats.
