Poor bloody cat is pissing itself with fright, mind you I think I would as well.
I bet that bloke on the ground is wishing he was somewhere as well. 
A sad ending for all concerned.

Very sad. Life's odd, eh. Invent cures to help sick people, and the consequence is that wilderness and wildlife go. A lose-lose situation.

Leopard attacks forest guards
Updated July 20, 2011 13:17:50
A forest guard aims his rifle as he is attacked by a wild leopard at Prakash Nagar village near Salugara on the outskirts of Siliguri on July 19, 2011. Six people were mauled by the leopard after the feline strayed into the village area before it was caught by forestry department officials.

Its digusting to see how India manages its wildlife. Wish they would open their eyes and follow proper conservation practices and allow legalised hunting.

dozens of leopards are lynched by the mob every year in india.
People hit it with sticks, bats, stones and its a very cruel scene.
Heres a link to some videos of leopard lynching(s).

I must say I think if India had slightly more reasonable gun laws some of these remote villagers might be able to protect themselves from this sort of thing with a 12 bore with buckshot but I suppose as human population continues expanding it will be more common, best, Mike

With at least 40 religions under one flag, there are reasons for India to have onerous gun laws. Nothing divides people like religion. Nothing else even comes close.
