Lazy Cougar in the tree

After receiving a phone call about a cougar lurking in the neighbourhood i went to look around. Minutes later the dogs treed this amazing cat and i climbed a step ladder and shot this photo. My friend who was with me at the time was at the bottom of the tree and as i gradually went further up the ladder, he started to hiss. A few seconds later he turned, jumped to another branch and jumped into the air, landing on the road and was gone. It was an amazing experience.
