Ever been face to face with a mountain lion or cougar?

three or four times whilst walking trails; they just strolled on by paying me no mind

it's the tourists acting threatenly/irrationally (especially their pets) that have bad encounters...

I know several people that've had one as a pet at some point, as they're about the easiest wild cat to domesticate

No. But a Bobcat yes more than once. All happened in a neighborhood and no threats were made. They were used to seeing people and people left them alone.

no but there is this mythical black cat that is supposed to live on The North Downs. 2 of my friends have seen it.

No. Just a bobcat. I was alone in a swamp and didn't see the cat about 20 feet away. It let out a scream and scared me half to death.

Not face to face but I've seen a few around here.

Somewhat. to find out, I was too late when a Mountain lion was laying dead near a river.

Do my demons count? 👀

At the zoo. That's it.

No

My last words would be pspspspspspspsp here kitteh, kitteh, kitteh...
