How ‘bout the cat in Chicago? Life will go on. To a cougar, the homeless taste like chicken.

Yes, Puma are actually such shy and timid creatures who avoid human contact - unless there’s a meal to be had.

My sister is a 58 year old pentecostal widow who carries a .357 Smith to split wood. At her home in Mendocino County, CA tracks started appearing near her fish pond a couple of years ago. These things have wiped out all the wild pigs and most of the deer.

Used to be deer wouldn’t come within about 100 yards of her house. Last year one momma doe raised her fawn mostly in the back yard. It seems people were less frightening than the cats.

Shoot, Shovel, Shut Up.

There were Gores in Tidewater Virginia in the late 1600s.

Years ago we lived in an old house that had two foot walls. We had an aquarium in one of the windows and my husband’s favorite way to maintain an aquarium is without a heater or a pump so usually this one just had a flat pain of glass. It was our cat’s favorite place to stretch out. He could look down at the fish and out at the birds. One day my H was cleaning the tank and left the glass top off. That cat literally turned around in mid air. No water spilt, not a drop on him.

Maybe it was named after a man with no legs.

Yup, that’s a cougar.

It’s a shame that most cougars are more or less insane, they’d make great guard animals if they were friendlier to humans.
