Yeah it is hard to describe the essence of things. :( I don't know about other pumas so I can't ask anyone else to get an idea, eh. I've known different leopard people, jaguar people... I know what clouded leopard is... but puma? I wouldn't be able to explain what it's about and what makes it puma instead of another kitty. So that's why I ask. :)

(Also I was wondering, with pumas having such a wide range, do you think the viariation between puma-people is greater than in other types of felines? And you describe general-puma here, but is it what you identify as, instead of, say, a more defined type with marked preferences regarding habitat and whatnot? I'm just curious. ^^)
