This morning I went outside to see what was bothering our (feral) domestic cats, it is usually Racoons and once they see you outside they run off.
But this morning when I went out it was a Cougar, it force me to go back inside the house. I had to walk backwards up 3 steps and find the door handle on my back door while still looking at the Cougar. Got inside and was looking through the glass on the door, it was about 4 feet from me just starring at me. My adrenaline had obviously kicked in and it took 20 minutes or so to calm down.
2nd close incounter with a Cougar, Scarred the living daylight out of me.
Cougar population is on the rise here and Cougar encounters have become increasing.
Neighbor had one on his porch in February and it was dispatched by the government.
Anyone have advise on how to best handle living with Cougars around?
