Wear a Nixon mask backwards.Cat's will seldom attack if they think they are being watched.
FYI if you fish the Sandy around Marmot Dam you will be surprised when you see the local Cougar.This animal has sooo much skin it is unbelievable.He is not afraid of humans.Every now and then I leave him a steelhead in a secret spot.So if your a harvester of fish I would get the Nixon mask right away.Oh, and they like short people best.
