I think with cats it's shock value. Larger animals are surprised that something that size would attack them so ferociously and just run.
Of course, anyone who has had to deal with a truly angry cat can sympathise.
I had a cat that would routinely chase off big dogs - like Labrador- and retriever- sized dogs. He would see them from our driveway and cross the cul-du-sac to chase them off.
Then again, this was also a cat that would lay in the middle of the cul-du-sac and wouldn't move when garbage trucks would come through; they'd have to do 20-point turns to drive around him.
He was fearless, this cat. A dog was no big thing to him.
