Unless that cat had a gun he would be a good, solid meal for an old english mastiff. They excell at keeping wolves, coyotes, and big cats far away. Many bears won't even mess with a fully grown male mastiff.

It's not a matter of knowing or not knowing mastiffs. It's a matter of whether an owner wants to subject their dog to fighting a wild cat.
Where nature meets civility, possums have ripped the bowels out of dogs four times their size. Raccoons have torn muzzles off Labs, and cougars in and around So. Cal., are known to lie in wait, attack joggers and cyclists, and drag them off to the bushes to eat them.
Bear that in mind...
