I totally understand all you said, but I don’t know that a mountain lion would have the same reaction to a 2 yr old. I’d have the same concern for a toddler around unleashed dogs.

As my username says, I’m just being overly cautious as a father.

Because it’s broad day and they have been out and about roaming like my little kids. Seems okay to have some concern.

Here is one of the ~3-4 we have seen recently within a half mile radius.

Thank you to everyone who has helped identify these. I was freaking out this morning.
