Clio laid in wait for me last night and chased me up the stairs, ensnaring my leg. I consider myself luck to have escaped with my life.

"And what does 'Tiddles' do?"
"She flies across the room and lands in a bucket of water!"
"By herself?"
"No, I fling her!"
Thank you Monty Python!
Real helpful girlfriend too - hiding behind a tree while he is being attacked. They shouldn't have kids.
Darwin didn't quite win this round...
HAHAHAHA thanks for bringing that up. Lets extend that to women who don't take out the garbage or mow the lawns. They shouldn't have kids either.
Sounds like he ran off an left his girl friend there to me, but I could be reading it wrong.
Should have a rifle and/or a dog. I always do when hiking in the wilderness and mountainous areas of Idaho...bear or cougar can ruin an afternoon.
A mountain lion ate your homework, hmmm?
The hairless pink apes don't taste as good as the deer.
Very lucky the cat was small enough to fight off.
I bet PETA sics the ACLU on this animal hater. Couldn't he see that it was just his time to be eaten? He's gone and upset the entire balance of nature. Probably boosted global warming too by burning all those calories molesting that poor cat.
Armed in a Canadian wildlife sanctuary? Can you do that?
John Mellencamp is trying to sell albums again?
I don't know, but it sounds like a good place to be conscious about self-defense, preferably with at least a respectable handgun. If nothing else, I'd be carrying some deadfall to use as a club or staff.
He was unarmed because he was in CANADA! They frown on that sort of thing there. Someone might get hurt!
But you're 100% right . . . I wouldn't be comfortable without a gun in a place like that and I'd definitely be looking to quickly make a nice stout "walking stick" out of some tree limb with the biggest bowie knife I could smuggle into the place.
"With nothing to fight with, Bysterveld felt his only option was to run, which would also distract the cougar from his girlfriend,"
Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. I was distracting it away from my girlfriend.
I don't watch much tv but I did see a Sienfeld where George ran out of an apartment where there was a stovetop fire, trampling women children and the disabled. "Somebody had to take control and lead the way."
I also take out the trash, but I don't have a picture of that. I do have a picture of me working on my car...
I can't imagine myself hiding behind a tree...I gotta think I'd at least be looking around for something to knock the snot out of it. I once saw a rat in my chicken coop the size of a small possum and I stuck a garden fork through it before I could stop myself! Heh!
