Am I a cougar?

Cougars are all the rage now. I hate the term. I think it's derogatory.
I've been given grief because I'm 7 years older than my husband.

Does that make me a cougar? Not in my eyes.
I've always thought of a cougar as a 40+ single woman who is on the hunt for a much younger man. The guy is usually in his mid to late twenties.

When my husband and I met, he was 28 and I was 35.  We were 36 and 28(almost 29) when we got married.

I don't consider that being a cougar.  Yes, there is an age gap of 7 years but our differences are cultural (U.S. versus U.K.) rather than age.

I have no problem with cougars.  Sometimes age differences can work. It's certainly working for me.

Here is the "cougar" and her "cub" :)
