A mountain lion prowling around for easy meals has been scaring a...family ever since it killed one of the family's cats two weeks ago.
About 2:30 a.m. ...Carrie Ann Warner heard noises outside that she assumed came from raccoons ...
As the house had no windows on that side, she opened the door a little, a piece of firewood in one hand. One of her cats scooted out the door, right into the clutches of a mountain lion not 2 feet from her.
Warner threw the firewood and hit the animal in the head as it carried off her cat.
Since then, they've frequently seen or heard two mountain lions — one "sub-adult" and one adult — at all times of the day and night, but only the younger one seems to be the troublemaker.
"I'm scare out of my mind,"...
Warner slammed the door on the big cat's head, then slammed it again in its face.
The Warners, who have lived in the area for 11 years, have a 6-year-old son, and they fear for his safety, as well as for the safety of the other children in the neighborhood.
Her son no longer plays outside.
"I'm worried I can't move fast enough to protect my son," she said...
After her first cat provided the mountain lion with an easy meal, it has seen the second cat lounging on her son's windowsill, and has stuck around to see if it will get lucky again, Division of Wildlife... Todd Schmidt,...

Idiots.
The wildlife officer should set up a trap and see what he catches.
If I had a six-year old child to protect, I would be locked, cocked, and ready to rock next time kitty stopped by.
Shoot.
Shovel.
Shut up.
SERIES!!!
These people apparently don't like their child enough to invest in a shotgun.
I don't care if its legal or not. If one were to threaten me, my pets or my property its a goner!
Only men from south of the border third-world hell holes are machisimo enough to deal with mountain lions? How is it you've not been zotted yet from the other thread you're trolling with your racism? Your time here will be short and that is a good thing.
Sounds like a plan!
