Cute story with a tasty ending for a predator. Most likely an owl or raptor of some sort

"He went from the backyard to the local park to Cougar Mountain last summer and has been hiking regularly ever since."

Cougar? Mountain?

What could possibly go wrong?

We live next to a huge dense stand of old oaks about 125 years old. We adopted a feral cat over the course of a year, as it took that long to get her to trust us and come inside. She rarely goes out and when she does she runs from cover spot to cover spot, always looking up.

I found out from neighbors she's had two litters of kittens before we moved in. Hawks and owls picked off every single one of them. She has no real desire to be an outside cat at all anymore. I can't say I blame her?

We love having the predators around. Not one rat, mouse, mole, in the area. In the evening the owls dart thru our yard like a big brown bullet.
