A man was attacked from behind by a mountain lion and suffered wounds to his head while he and his wife were relaxing in an in-ground hot tub.

The incident occurred at approximately 10 p.m. on Saturday night when the couple alerted Colorado Parks and Wildlife that the man had just been attacked by a mountain lion while the pair were soaking in a hot tub at a rental home in a heavily wooded area about five miles west of Nathrop, Colorado, along Chalk Creek in Chaffee County. “The victim had four superficial scratches on top of his head and near his right ear,” Colorado Parks and Wildlife said in a statement following the incident. “By the time CPW was alerted and responded, the victim had cleaned the wounds and declined any medical assistance. The officers determined the injuries were consistent with the claw of a mountain lion.”

The victim told the officers that he and his wife were sitting in the hot tub a short distance from the home they were renting when, at about 8 p.m., he felt something grab his head.

“Yes, a Glock may fare better but who wants to deal with the rust?”

Not a Glock, just ask your local journalist and you will be told they are all plastic and cannot be detected in a metal detector. They are very dangerous and should be banned. /sarc/

Kalifornians all taste like tofu. One nibble was all the cat needed to figure out he didn’t care for the taste.

"OK, it'd be real awkward in a hot tub, but in India people know cats prefer to attack from behind! " Not all cats, tigers in specific, and the tigers are getting wise to the trick.
