Changing the tire isn’t the problem. Having the windows down and smelling like the four slices of bacon you had with your eggs before heading into the enclosure is.

This. There are things that trigger their instincts. I watch my cats all the time and often think, “Holy crap, they’re basically just miniature versions of the big cats—thank goodness they’re small.” No way in HELL would I ever get near a big cat without some serious protection between us.
