I agree....... I am glad there is much distant between me & her. It's one thing to get bite & scratched by house cat, this one not a good idea.

She's a beauty! I wish I could have been there (inside) with my camera.

Well, at least I know why my dogs were acting so crazy the other day...We live just down the road from this and they were up , they were down, didn't seem to want to go outside by themselves...It was very strange behaviour for them...At least next time, I'll be prepared with the camera and go check things out...She would have been great to see in person...Such gorgeous creatures they are....

Why wasn't the CO called so they could move the Cougar to a different location away from people? If it hangs around a lot, it's going to be dispatched.

How can you tell Bsuds? You can't see anything the way it's sitting in the tree.

It would make a lovely wall mount.

You can tell by the hungry look in her eyes, and the fact that she was at the Bar last night! :dyinglaughing:

Two things misleading about this headline.

1) It's not a big cat, it's of pretty normal size for the area.
2) It's more then likely not visiting.

It's not just as easy as calling a CO and having it moved.
If it's a female and has young, the young will den with mom for up to two years.
You'd have to actually see it, determine its sex, and if it's a female, you'd have to determine if it's got young before removing it from wherever it's calling home.

In all honesty, the cat population is doing pretty well here. You relocate this one and another will just take it's place.
