This might be a seasonal thing.

28 year old killed by mountain lion in Texas last month.

Agree. I had at least one mountain lion at the far end of my paper route on the Inverness Ridge of the Point Reyes Peninsula 57-58 years ago, and never stayed around there to cadge tips when collecting.
"Mountain lion hunting has been banned in Kalifornia for about 20 years. The population of lions has exploded. The fires drove them closer to human population areas. There will be more problems this Spring"

Too bad they called it a mountain lion rather than a cougar for this article. Ruined the chance for a lot of the usual “cougar” jokes in this thread.

another remote possibility was a cougar raised in a home, then let loose- but doubtful

Editor? Why? You were expecting it to read “California deputy kills mountain lion that stalked family in Broad Daylight, California”?

“The victim’s spine was completely severed and the heart was torn from its arteries. Other organs were also fatally injured, all from the collision itself.”

Yikes, I never heard of that before. I always figured it was claws and teeth on the brain stem. At least maybe that impact was a merciful way to go.

They could have gone with “Catamount” or “Puma” and there would be even fewer jokes.

“Catamount,” yes. But with puma, you still risk hearing jokes about “Puma Man”, Pete Puma from Looney Tunes, and a certain athletic clothing brand.

“I rather think Nancy and the Democrats are the family who will be surprised when the Republican mountain lion fails to get scared off and continue stalking them.”

Not at all. We showed ourselves to be ineffective cowards. The mechanisms and organizations for stealing elections remain in place. The demonrats will “win” every election from now until we’re worse off than Cuba.

(Understandable) LANGUAGE WARNING:

Man is stalked for six minutes by a mountain lion.

Just in case someone here hasn’t seen this.

She was a wild young thang that cougar she was.
It was a shame they had to put her down.
There was a lot of life in her. And that was the problem.
