Got an observation and question, I live in the fakahatchee preserve in SW FL, I encounter Fl panthers,what you guys out west call mountain lions, all the time. Just walked up to a female with two kittens a few weeks ago, I have never had any signs of aggression from any encounters and I do not know of any recorded attacks in FL. Why do you think the western cats so much more aggressive. Our cats were crossbred with Texas cats about 20 years ago because of our shrinking habitat and resulting inbreeding but the even before that they never showed any aggression. Maybe us Floridians just don't taste as good.
