Kim may have avoided the big cat, but Elisha Cuthbert did not, and got bit! The only place I could find this was the March 18 IMDB Celebrity News section, but I didn’t look very hard elsewhere.
It is a very short article, so I’m not sure what I can cut/paste without copyright problems. Basically the trainer said she should meet the cat before filming, she did, and the cat bit her. She bled quite a bit and got a tetanus shot.

A tetanus shot? Was the cougar rusty?
I don’t even remember the two of them being in the same shot. Wonder why they felt like they needed to get to know each other. Editting was all they needed.
That is exactly what I thought.
This one almost makes me break my “dubious” smiley cherry.
The IMDB seems to have removed this story from their site.
Googling around, it’s all over the fan sites, but I can’t find any reputable news/entertainment sites that support it.
I found a few dead links, like this one at NewsDay, which used to have this story associated with them, but have since been expunged.
Here’s a salvaged remnant which was reposted at a fan site:
I would speculate that it was made up out of whole cloth by a press agent, and later retracted due to pressure from the animal-handling contracter. Something about it just doesn’t ring true.
Tetanus shots are SOP for animal bites, though.
I think she got bitten by the circus clowns (her next big adventure on the show) and they just tried to blame it on the cougar… 
IMDb still has it. She was bit by a lion.
Also check out Google news. It has a couple articles. One of them says Elisha revealed this to “The Sun” who has an article about it as well.
Well, don’t I feel silly?
The pic that they used with the Ananova story makes me want to bite her, too.
Ack! Who did her makeup in that pic? It looks like someone hit it–literally.
Oh, and did anyone notice the 24 reference in the Marvin comic strip, of all place, this week?
