A Boulder resident hosted a very unwelcome guest Thursday night when a mountain lion managed to find its way inside the home in the 400 block of Marine Street.
Police tweeted a photo of the giant cat sitting between a couch and coffee table. The homeowner says the mountain lion entered the home through a screen window and police were called after a roommate returned to find the scary surprise.
Last night, a mountain lion entered a home on Marine St through a screen door, No people were injured but a house cat was killed. Please keep ground level doors and windows closed and locked at night and when you are not home. (This is also good advice for bears and burglars.
...
Yeah, he said it was terrifying," said Kayla Slaughter, the homeowner. "It looked right at him and licked his lips and he (roommate) took off. I do have a picture of the mountain lion laying on the couch. It looks like it's watching TV."
The family's house cat, Klondike was stuck inside. Sadly, she was eaten.
...
It was heartbreaking for the Slaughter's, but getting the mountain lion out was an even bigger concern. Neighbors watched as police and wildlife officers shot beanbags at windows.
...
"It's just violating that this animal had free reign of our house for three hours," added Slaughter.

I love police & fire types, many of whom slipped in as standards were lowered, lecturing the rest of us to ‘let the experts handle it.’
Far too often the ‘experts’ look like a Three Stooges episode.
They’re showing up enforce here in Kentucky now. Game cam just a few miles from me caught 3 in the same photo last week.
What would YOU do, for a Klondike bar
Another idiot reporter / writer...it’s “free rein.” As in dropping the reins and letting the horse do what he wants.
Another good reason to own a gun.
...it could have been a child.
...it could have been my naked house maid.
Boulder politicians are grabbing as many guns , from the little people, as they can.
