WESTERVILLE — The 35-year-old man who crossed a fence to pet some cougars last week said he wishes he had never done it.

“That was a very bad decision” said Josh Newell. “If I had to do it over I definitely would have stayed within the barrier boundaries. I was thinking I’m an animal lover. The cats were looking like they wanted some love and just jumped over and petted them.”

Newell was pressed with criminal trespassing charges by the Columbus Zoo after video showed him jumping a barrier to pet two adult cougars .

I know he should not have done that, but the cats seemed to like it!

When America splits, lets leave him on the other side of the border. Or give him a Cougar to pet. Either way is good.

“The cats were looking like they wanted some love...”

Don’t all cougars want love?

When you’ve had too much to drink
there’s certain things to keep in mind.
Like when you find your hand and underarms are bleeding
your beer bottle might not have a twist off cap
and don’t ever go home with a woman they call Moose
or Vince
And never bet that you can fit your head inside a glove compartment

Get drunk with dignity
Keep in mind that just because a bulldog licks your face
its not necessary to lick him back
Stay away from drinks with names like
brain seizure or hippo laxative
Get drunk with dignity

If a bar has human ears nailed ot the walls
don’t pass out there
and if your homemade jello has some goldfish in it
you used the wrong bowl
And there are phrases you must learn to avoid
phrases like
“that badge looks stupid”
and
“I can prove these shoes are fireproof”

Get drunk with dignity
try not to drool on bikers
Don’t moon a nun
unless you got a real good reason
don’t get romantically involved with farm machinery

Get drunk with dignity.

It it is pretty incredible that some petted a cougar and didn’t end up kitty chow...

The man is an idiot.
He's lucky he's not missing a hand, or two.

I wouldn’t mind if she bites. I probably wouldn’t mind if she clawed, either, but that one sort of depends.
