... Wow. You growled in an attempt to scare off one of the big cats?
That’s a REALLY dumb idea. They think that’s a challenge to fight from another cat.

Actually, what I do is honk the horn on the truck, turn the music on the radio as loud as I can to try to intimidate
the cats in the area. When I would go through this area I would make loud roaring sounds as loudly and savagely as I could. And then one night I got the distinctively cat-like, freaky, growl or roar from behind a fenced-off area. The cat was not visible to me, and I was not accessible to her. Although with a little change of locations on both our parts it could have been a different configuration much less favorable.
It was a damned memorable roar or growl though. It sent chills up my spine.
A growl is a challenge to fight from another cat? Is it now?
I thought it was better than being meekly and quietly passive.
What is really dumb is I have an apartment full of guns and am up there at night unarmed. Sometimes I think in terms of fighting them off with the metal rod I use to kill rattlesnakes if need be. Hell, what do I know, I am a purposefully displaced urbanite.
