BOULDER, Colo. -- Mountain lion encounters in Colorado arent exactly rare, but they dont usually produce such great photo opportunities.
Gail Loveman, who lives in Boulders Pine Brook Hill neighborhood, snapped a handful of photos of a standoff involving a mountain lion and her Maine cook [sic] cat, Zeus.
It happened last Thursday evening when the cougar walked up her porch and peeked through a sliding glass door.

Maine Coons aren't slouches either. I've seen a few that were 25 lbs of lean weight. In fact, the largest cat in the world is a Maine Coon and is about the size of a golden retriever.

I used to have a Maine Cook cat. Got tired of him yelling “bam!” every time he prepared a dish.

Lol, ain’t that the truth. It might be photoshopped, but it just might be real and as an old cat caretaker, I am believing it ; }
Amazing, beautiful animals, both domestic and wild. We are blessed to exist with them.

I thank God for these beautiful gifts, and I thank Him for giving me the brains to keep from becoming mountain lion dinner.
Great photos and the cats are so magnificent, big and little.
I have a Maine Coon, Hannah Leigh (big and beautiful) and she is so gentle. She would want to play with big kitty and become a snack.

It really was close to lunch and I’m thankful Maine Coon is alive and well.
I just love my Hannah. Very spoiled and cuddly. I have to sit down to hold her she’s so big. I told my oldest son she looks like a raccoon when she lays on her back, so I rolled her over to play roadkill (she lays on her back with her paws extended above her head) and he said she looks exactly like a coon.
She’s my sweetie.
