Common practice here in Southwest Idaho is to
carry a can of tuna fish at all times. When you encounter a cat you quickly
throw the can of tuna in the cat’s direction. While he is attempting to
open the can, you can escape.
Must work as I have not heard of any one
being et by a cougar around here.

I saw a cartoon in a newspaper many years
ago that showed a hiker meeting a mountain lion on the side of a narrow
mountain trail. The hiker was standing there holding a small log above his head
thinking "If I make myself look big, he'll go away." The mountain
lion was shown thinking "Wow! That's enough for breakfast, lunch, AND
dinner!!"
