A Negev resident woke up early Monday morning to find a leopard in his bedroom.
The wild animal had been chasing Arthur Damush's beloved cat around the house, and when the two animals entered his bedroom, Damush did not hesitate, and knew exactly what he had to do.
The Midreshest Ben-Gurion resident instinctively jumped out of his bed and caught the wild creature with his bare hands.
In the past two weeks residents of the area noticed that cats were slowly disappearing, and occasionally spotted the leopard sneaking between houses. This time, however, the leopard decided to pay the Damush household a visit.
Raviv Shapira, head of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority's southern district, told Ynet, "Around 3 am, a cat ran into the house, with the leopard chasing after him. The two animals lunged into the bedroom.
"The homeowner who was sleeping with his wife woke up and yelled: 'Leopard!', and at first thought he was seeing things. When the leopard used its teeth to grab the cat by its neck, the homeowner pounced on it and caught it with his hands."
Shapira added that this was the first time he had ever encountered a leopard entering a home.

That’s a good tip.
If I ever have to catch a leopard with my bare hands, I’ll stuff a kitty into his fanged jaws first!

The picture shows a smaller animal than I was expecting. Still that is a very impressive feat! I have seen nature programs where a Leopard carried a deer sized kill up a tree. No way a man could overpower a cat of that size.Right! This leopard was VERY YOUNG. I was thinking the same thing as you, which is why I went to the article and saw the picture.
