Just a little Arizona Mt. Lion info.
web page

FWIW - although not noted on the AZGFD website, an undisturbed Mt. Lion has been observed making a measured 12ft vertical jump, from a dead stop. I find that to be impressive.

Also good to do during an encounter, point your finger and look down your arm at a Mt. Lion. They understand what you are doing and don't like it. Be intimidating. Lean into it some.
