| A police officer didn't think much of a call to shoo off a bothersome "kitty cat" at a Casper home on Monday. But after the officer arrived at the home, he ran for cover after seeing a male mountain lion weighing 80 to 90 pounds. Beverly Hood said she was inside when she first saw the mountain lion lying on her porch Monday. Hood said the lion hissed at her, but she wasn't scared. She called 911, animal control and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and reported that she had a bothersome "big cat." A dispatcher told Officer Mike Ableman that it was a house cat. A game warden tranquilized the mountain lion and the animal was relocated. |

| #2 Reminds me of a story (possibly appocraphyl) that I read many years ago. Seems there was this burglar who was climbing through a window. He saw a couple of cat's eyes and thinking that cats were better than dogs turned on his pocket flash light. Seems the two cat's eyes that were a foot apart belonged to the same cat. The intended victim had a pet black panther. The story came out when he proceeded to fall out of the window and got caught by the cops. Here kitty, kitty....... |

| #1 That officer was smart. A cat that size is perfectly capable of killing an adult human. Some human will probably have trouble with that cat again. It's lack of fear is definitely a bad thing for both the cat and any person that it should happen to encounter. |
