I'm going to be interestingly pedantic here. The cougar (or puma or mountain lion) isn't a Big Cat. Sure, it's a BIG cat but to join the actual Big Cats (lions, tigers, leopards) it would have to have a different shaped hyoid bone in its throat. Because of this bone, proper Big Cats can roar you see, while little ones - like your puma and tibbles - can only screech. How do I remember this stuff? PS Valves rule!
