Amos leans around the corner, and says very softly and clearly, "Back up slowly. No sudden moves, miss."
The cat-monster eyes him: it's just close enough to an animal Amos can "hear" the very softest brush of its thoughts, and they are all hungry-aggression-fight. He knows already he can't placate the creature, or divert it to another target... But he does know how to deal with large angry predators who are looking at making you an easy lunch.
Slowly, and without showing a weakness. Strong prey is just not worth the fight.
Amos is armed with several small knives and his latest acquisition from Rage's armory: a shorter composite bow and some very nicely steel-headed arrows.
