Doesn't sound as though the person attacked was in a tent, but sleeping out on the ground--kitty burrito?

Speaking of Henry Shires, doesn't he live in Nevada City?

I seem to remember JimShaw posting a few years back about a mountain lion snarling outside his tent.

In all my years of visiting the wilds, the only time I ever saw a mountain lion was a tail rapidly disappearing into the brush when I was 15.
