Dead skunk on the road is one of the few real thrills I have these days. :(
I breath that shit deep!

Difficult for an Aussie to work this out Chuey.
You're worried about a cat, but not worried about getting spray from a bear.
Unless you meant 'beer spray'? That, I can relate to.

"Bear spray" is some very potent cayenne pepper based spray that really irritates mucous membranes in mammals.

Beer spray is also annoying. It should not be sprayed in my opinion. It would not be likely to drive away bears or lions. In all fairness, it will, however, be likely to drive away pussy. :)

Chuey.............hoping we all read enough of the other threads that the pussy reference works.

I don't miss much reference wise.


Your panic button might best be hooked up to your jaw (scream activated) 'cause I think pussy will be on your back before you know anything about it! :shock:

Agreed. That is, that you wouldn't have warning. My idea is not a preventative one but a defensive one. I would think that if you had a button about two or three inches in diameter on your chest, you could hit it with one or the other hand during an attack by a mountain lion. Less desirable, but still a possible discharge of pepper spray would be if you hit the ground on your front side. I'm still convinced that it would be pretty darn good to have in an attack.
