I wish that every cougar lover could have a one on one visit by a hungry and poed cougar.

Glendale residents Rachel Wong and her husband said they knew instantly something wild happened in their backyard when they woke up and looked outside Thursday morning. The pair decided to review their home surveillance tape to get a clue at what exactly went down — and that’s when they spotted the encounter between the mountain lion and deer.
“It was pretty scary, kind of creepy,” Wong told KCAL. “I saw the video,” “I ran into the room and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, did you see this?’ And I showed [my husband].”
The video shows the mountain lion leaping toward the fleeing deer and landing in the middle of the family’s underground pool.
The mountain lion quickly exits the water as the deer swims around for a few more seconds before escaping from the opposite side of the pool.

Another camera on the side of the family’s home spotted the mountain lion again chasing the deer as it exits the water and makes a dash for the nearby woods.

LOL! I saw that and Glendale is not out in a rural area, it’s nestled up close to the San Gabriel Mtns.
Since CA passed a law protecting cougars (I believe in the 90s) they have had the cats coming down off the Mtns in many cities that abut them that we referred as the front country.
