Understanding of the sentence

Please see the sentence bellow and teach me what the "apparently he gave it something to remember befor he made off" meant.

' A cat jumped on him in a farmyard. He never head it until the last moment. It tore the muscle of one of his wings, but apparently he gave it something to remember before he made off. Then he got himself up here somehow or other and just collapsed. Think of standing up to a cat! I can see now that I haven't really atrted yet. Why should'nt a rabbit stand up to a cat? Let's just suppose that-' ( it's from the novel Watership Down)
