Despite the Mountain Lion from Homeward Bound being considered a normal predator, he is based on the Lynx from Shelia Burnford's 1961 novel The Incredible Journey, and its 1963 Disney adaptation. While the movie only describes him as an evil and powerful killer, the book further describes him as a sadistic and cruel predator who hated other cats. Plus, a cougar wouldn't anounce its presence while sneaking up on its prey. No, I'm not talking about the first time he encountered Shadow and Chance. When he snuck up on Shadow before he catapulted him over the cliff, he roared instead of just attacking him. Also, as Shadow lures the cougar into the trap, he says "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty" and the cougar roared at him. It's not that he didn't know Shadow and Chance's presence in the area, he knew they were in the area the whole time he arrived there and hated it when Shadow called him kitty.
