Rawr! Beware West Olympia Cougar

Seattlest is sitting here on this gorgeous, sunny day, watching a little Oprah. Then, the news came on and we heard tell of cougar attacks in West Olympia. Yeah, we thought "hot old lady," too, but apparently no. Apparently it's an actual cougar.
KING-5 News suggests that, if you run into a cougar, you follow these important steps:
Don't run away, face the cougar
Talk firmly
Appear larger, open your jacket
Use pepper spray if you have it
Because actual people were attacked (we hope they're okay), we'll resist the urge to link those pieces of advice to what we originally thought of when we heard the phrase "cougar attacks." Instead, we'll just wonder aloud how a cougar winds up running around a town. Could it be a reason similar to why local coyotes have been stealing cats?
