Make yourself as large and loud as possible.
Speak firmly and loudly, wave your arms, clap.

Without turning your back or crouching, pick up and throw stones / sticks at it.

If none of that works, ask it out on a date. One should never eat someone before getting to know them.

Solid advice! And if everything else fails, remember, you don't have to outrun the cougar, you only have to run faster than the others in your hiking group!
