Stalked By A Cougar - Not What You Think
I just came in from walking the dog along the creek that runs through my land. The dog got all antsy, barking and running in circles around me but staying real close to me; most peculiar behaviour for the old girl. It took me a while to figure it out. Finally a motion on the far side of the creek caught my eye. It was a bloody cougar and it seemed to be stalking us. Gotta tell ya, my sphincter tightened as if sucking on a lemon. The dog and I scooted back to my machine shop as fast as we could go, keeping an eye open behind us warily. Never been so glad to have Grandpa's old 16 gauge in my hands! This was the first time I have ever seen a feline cougar so close.
I'll take those cougars that attack me in SCs any time over this variety.

sc,
Yes they can! Ever been in a deep sleep and have a couple run across you with all claws in action and grabbing whatever they encounter, including genitals??
Bear spray works well. If they think they have lost the ability to best ya, they haul ass.
Bear spray can also provide entertainment when used on drunken thugs too.
As for the other kind of cougar, they're even more frightening. For me, an older woman is someone who uses a walker and lives in a nursing home.
I never even thought of the other "type". : ) I would have preferred just jumping on my balls, rather than jumping AND lacerating.
The biggest black cat I've seen. The only previous cat that decided it had to jump out in front of me felt like a speed bump. It was on it's 9th life. I'm not 100 percent sure the big cat was black but it was right in my headlight beams and it was dark like black dark. After some research I believe they have been spotted in Florida and in Virginia as well.
Your stories take place in SCs.
I really have to stretch credibility to give most of my stories a SC connection. Obviously, I suffer from diarrhea of the keyboard.
I left out the part in my story that I was coming back late at night from a strip club visit or I would have never had a close encounter with a mythical cat. I'm glad I didn't hit it. I really did not want to make the news becoming the first person in SC to hit a large black panther with their car. It would have messed my car up ruining my whole night. The bad part I thought was that it was only a few miles away from my house. Probably migrating to Florida though.
