The reason why a cougar will attack you is either because You are: to close to it, or if the animal thinks your cornering it.

Well God gave them strong legs made special for climbing and leaping. They have big feet so they can have more of a grip and so they don't sink into to snow and their fur is good for the freezing temperatures, and mountain lions don't always live on the mountain, they can live near it.

Cougars either spy, attack (which is VERY rare), or they avoid humans because they don't want to get killed. If a cougar is about to attack you, you should wave your arms in the air, scream as loud as you will ever scream, jump up and down, and make yourself look BIG. Or, if you have something in your hands, then you can throw it. If you have pepper spray, you may spray the cougar with it. If you have an umbrella, you can open it and they will run away.
