In a moment it would be among the boulders and at the first collision be overturned. But he could not drag his eyes from those of the catamount. With a fierce snarl which ended in a thrilling scream, the brute cast itself into the air! At the moment it rose, exposing its lighter colored breast to view, a gun-shot shattered the silence of river and forest.
In South America the corresponding animal is the jaguar, and in North America the cougar or catamount, and sometimes the American lion. Jack Carlton did not hold the brute in special fear, though he knew that when wounded or impelled by hunger he was a dangerous foe.
Entering the open throat of the grizzly, it had traversed his body only to enter the throat of the California lion, and in like manner the catamount, until it passed through into the respective foreheads of the bull and the buffalo, and finally fell flattened from the rocky hillside. Genevra turned quickly.
"You can go away and let me alone, or you can stand there chattering until you drive me crazy!" she answered, ungratefully. "Good morning, my love; I will not trouble you again soon," muttered the duke, as he walked away from the duchess' door. "I never knew such a change as this that has come over her. She is as cross as a catamount! There may be a cause for it.
And didn't I bravely risk my life by throwing off my disguise to gratify your laudable wish?" "So you did, my hero!" "Ah, but well as you liked me, the moment you thought me in your power didn't you leap upon my shoulders like a catamount and cling there, shouting to all the world to come and help you, for you had caught Black Donald and would die before you would give him up?

And then Miss Silver looked at Mr. Parmalee, and Mr. Parmalee looked at Miss Silver, with the air of two accomplished duelists waiting for the word. "He's as sharp as a razor," thought the lady, "and as shy as a partridge. Half measures won't do with him. I must fight him on his own ground." "By jingo! she's as keen as a catamount!" thought the gentleman, in a burst of admiration.
I shall never forget the laugh which my grown-up brothers enjoyed at my expense when trembling with terror, I enquired if they thought a catamount was not approaching among the tree-tops. "Do not be alarmed," said they, "for the noises which frighten you so much proceeds from nothing more formidable than owls."

He grinned so, he showed his corn-crackers from ear to ear. She said, he stript his teeth like a catamount, he look'd so all mouth.
The opossum, as soon as she came to the ground, had suddenly clewed herself up; and now presented the same appearance as when she first came upon the stage. Head, neck, limbs, and tail, were no longer visible nothing but a round ball of thick, woolly hair! At this the catamount tugged with "teeth and toe-nails." He worried it for not less than ten minutes, until he became weary.
