at the zoo the new cougar exhibit has instructions on what to do when 
confronted by a cat who wants possibly to eat you look big it says which if 
you're naturally so not might be hard but could be managed possibly by some 
sort of extension of the arms with handy twigs do not run do not hide do not 
pass go make confident noises as if you were in a six month employee evaluation 
and last checked your breath five minutes previous if you're on the way to the 
deli ask if you can get it anything this is a sign of politeness do not invade 
its space bear in mind that it could be grumpy or in pain you pretty much have 
to anticipate that a hungry cougar in the wild is likely to be in what we used 
to call at home all those years ago a mood but you never know it might be your 
lucky day
