Despite the public’s perception of declining Mountain Lion populations in California, they are quite numerous and for the most part have lost their fear of humans. I see Mountain Lions on a semi regular basis.

Does anybody wonder about why this cat was attracted to the back of a medical facility and what kind of “facility” it is???

It's a viaduct. How dry is that part of California right now? Water is a greater motivator than food or sex.
