I don't know if anyone lives close enough to be effected by this incident but the article also gives some interesting info in regards to protecting yourself. http://access.wa.gov/news/article.asp?name=n0209063.htm

"Cougars have been driven away by people who have fought back using anything within reach, including sticks, rocks, shovels, backpacks, and clothing -- even bare hands. Generally, if you are aggressive enough, a cougar will flee, realizing it has made a mistake." This reminds me of a response to a Cougar thread I saw on another forum. A poster said "You are a 150 pound APE--act like one!" wink.gif It sounds funny, but it's good advice--I'm a 220 pound ape, not cat food.

Even though I am crazy about the lightweight thing, I always carry a ball of yarn and a small catnip mouse. Nothing cuter than a 130 pound tom batting one of those babies around.

Considering the size differential, possibly a Chihuahua and a spool of 1/2" Mylar would be more appropriate, Allison! eek.gif BW biggrin.gif
