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.

The meal wasn’t fully cooked, yet.
Probably the mountain lion fled after the guy splashed around and a drop of water hit the cat.
AIRBNB...Complete with death defying animal attacks....Great for selfies......Bring the family......
OK, it'd be real awkward in a hot tub, but in India people know cats prefer to attack from behind!
Always have a hot tub gun.
Apparently they think tigers are less likely to attack white people too.
Cue 70s adult movie music.
Note to self: Don’t relax in an in-ground hot tub anywhere out west. Hell, not even in Michigan. Bears.
Wonder if his wife considers herself a cougar?
Yeah, who would have thought you'd need a spear gun in the hot tub?
That also means no drinking.
Glock pistols were satisfactorily tested under water.
Yes, a Glock may fare better but who wants to deal with the rust?
Or wake up the neighbors?
The speargun on the other hand...

Friend of mine used to lounge in her outdoor hot tub in Idaho, on the far fringes of Ketchum.
With a loaded shotgun within reach.
Gotta stop using that catnip infused shampoo.

I suspect it was a good thing the husband was on top as the couple was “relaxing” in the hot tub. If not, it would have been the wife who had her head attack by the mountain lion. And, as we all know, men are more hard-headed than women.
Good job hubby!
That is hilarious, thanks for the laugh.🤣
