Anne,

I'm with you.

I hope he's not harmed and released back into the wild.

Poor kitty. I wonder how it managed that? One of the very few things I miss about CA, Santa Cruz. Full of lefty hippy's but an easy place to ignore that fact.

If you ever visit San Fran or Sillycon Valley, make a point to visit Santa Cruz. Go Santa Cruz Banana Slugs! :D

You will learn to appreciate life after being stalked by one of these big cats while hiking to a fishing spot in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

These little kitties are why I keep a .44 magnum with me on those occasions.

The fact is that the only difference in atitude between this mountain lion and a feral or hungry house cat is what they can get away with due to their size.

They make great pets.
Thats not a big cat.

Below is a big cat. You've never taken your cat for a walk in the woods to go hunting? 'El mucho' better than any dog on the planet.

Drive on Ocean St to deliver to my 2 stores there.
As far as Mt Lions, too big. Do not like them. Dangerous.
As I've said before, About 2 AM, heard a terrible scream from my dear German Shephard, put on the slippers
and got a flash lite, under the house was looking 6 feet from the face of one of these beasts.
If I had had a pistol, would of unloaded it between those eyes and called animal control to remove the body.

Fred don't call no one. You really should get that thought out of your mind. If you do take one you must first get a deperation (sp?) permit. If your going to call the authorities.

LOL. That reminds me of what my sister just said on the phone a couple minutes ago.

SIS: "I need a backhoe and a body bag".
Me: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
SIS: "I just killed a BIG spider".
