I think you might or might not get away with bluffing a big cat, but if you turn and run you are certainly doomed. Any cat will pounce on anything that runs.

The truth is, you normally wouldn't see an attack from a mtn lion coming. It would be quick, and probably from above. My point is simply something that Stanley inherintly knew. A mtn lion CANNOT afford injury. Their very survival depends on it....and that is your advantage.

And you're not going to outrun it unless you're five yards from your back door.

Think about it. I could probably win a fight against Stanley...but not a mtn lion. Yet he managed to chase off a mtn lion. Why? Because he showed no fear and threatened a fight with the cat. You are bigger than Stanley, and a big cat has more natural fear of you than a small dog. Why couldn't you do exactly what Stanley did? Fear...thats why.
