Wildlife officers said they're looking for a mountain lion that was reported this morning peeking into the cafeteria window at the Boulder Community Hospital, 1100 Balsam Ave.
Officers, who are searching in the area of west Mapleton Avenue, said they've not been able to locate the cat.
The Mount Sanitas trailhead, which starts just west of the intersection of Fourth Street and Mapleton Avenue, has been temporarily closed while rangers scour the area for the animal.
Tuesday, officers with the Colorado Division of Wildlife tranquilized a lion spotted napping under the porch of a home at 755 Pleasant St. That same lion had been darted and relocated the week before after being seen in a yard on Grant Street.

Was the mountain lion peering in at the cafeteria food or at the yummy (and slow) patients?
What is it with Boulder and mountain lions lately? Yesterday they had one darted in front of an elementary school and then released in an “open space park” not far away! If you’re not going to do the three-S treatment on Big Kitty, at least take it further away from town before letting it go!

C'mon Jennifer, just shoot the lion like should have been done the second time, save a kid!
They will wait until it hurts someone and then blame it on global warming.
I don’t get it. I’ve been reading about the Boulder puma for days now. Seems to me they sedate it and then release it VERY CLOSE TO WHERE THEY CAPTURED IT. You think maybe they should drop it at a more remote and wild location?
The mountain lions know there is no real threat in the people republic of boulder...lol
It’s pretty clear the DOW has been infiltrated with AR type nuts. This lion has lost it’s fear of man and will be a danger no matter where it’s relocated to, it needs to be put down.
“You think maybe they should drop it at a more remote and wild location?”
Drop it from about 5000 ft and see if it lands on its feet.
>> Looking for? Looking for?
What the hell are they, bird watchers? Suggested approach:
First time in town: Immobilize, then immediately beat the krap out of it while it’s awake and can’t move (broken ribs would be nice; they’re a gift that keeps on giving for 6 weeks - I know from personal experience). Truck it out of town, reapply beating, then have DOW employees urinate and defecate on it - just to remind it who is the neighborhood’s top predator.
Second time in town: Cure the animal’s lead deficiency with an injection from a suitable weapon. Truck the carcass out of town, and after a quick on-site autopsy (sorry, the college-educated Gumm’nt welfare bum biologists don’t get to keep Mr. Kitty), repeat the urination and defecation treatment - just to remind the cat’s buddys whose a** is next in line if they cross the top predator.
Sounds crude, but if we are to communicate with the cats, we must speak their language. Search YouTube for “Boulder/Mt. Lion/Puma/Cougar”, etc. and you’ll see what idiots are now running the show: “Can’t we all just get along?”
Maybe the mountain kitties like the smell of vegetarian Boulderites. Easier to hunt than fellow meat eaters.
:)
Obama should meet with the mountain lion unconditionally.
Deer are vegetarians so Boulderites may be like natural prey.
lol!

Remember, the term “vegetarian” basically means “herbivore.”
For sure it's the same kitty. Clearly, it wishes to live in Boulder. All the locals need to do is keep it's bowl filled with yummy meat, and everything will be fine.
If they're not searching with dogs then they probably won't. Unless they return to find it sleeping in the cruiser.

I thought vegetarian was an ancient indian term that meant “bad hunter”.
