Another forum I'm on is going nuts over this one! A very high pucker factor to be sure! shocked I'll admit I'd have been tempted to shoot the cat but I'd try bear spray first. We have quite a few mountain lions along with Grizzlies, black bears and wolves (not that wolves are a real danger) where I live so when I hike I have my sidearm in a kydex chest rig and Counter Assault bear spray on the shoulder straps of my pack.

Both the hiker and the cat walked away unharmed so I guess that's a win. Probably the guy's underwear was beyond salvaging though! grin
