Best Answer

The Eastern Cougar is a very large wild cat present in wooded and mountainous areas of the Eastern United States. It has very few natural predators. When it is threatened, it can defend itself by scratching or biting. However, it is more likely to run and/or climb a tree to avoid the threat.

they will flicker their tail, and usually keep at a distance. but if you become a threat, you might be in danger. they will attack you, to prevent this, back away from the cat, and dont turn around, because that's the first thing that a prey would do. dont run either. (:
