If you encounter a cougar:

Stay calm. Slowly back away from it, if you can. Make yourself appear to be as large as possible. If the cat acts aggressively, do not back down. It would be best for you to make sure the animal sees you as a threat, and not dinner. Be loud and make eye contact. Show your teeth. If the cougar attacks, fight back, aiming for the face and eyes.
