To more efficiently reproduce this, simply summon a cat using the command provided below and then summon a creeper or phantom nearby, and observe their behavior.

/summon minecraft:cat ~ ~ ~ {Owner:"PLAYER",Glowing:1b,Sitting:1b,ActiveEffects:[{Id:14,Amplifier:0,Duration:999999}]}

To note: despite not being visually present, cats will audibly hiss at phantoms when nearby. This could be the reason as to why the phantoms are still intimidated.
