I wouldn't want to be the one to buy it kibbles!

Very clever.

Nice kitty!

Ha! We've spotted them here in PA, but the Game Commission insists it's not true.

Cute. He looks really big!

Make yourself comfortable. Funny ad :)

Pretty kitty, but thats a little too comfortable close to human sights, sounds to make me happy ;0)

I've seen one, from the car. It crossed the road in front of me at dusk shortly after leaving my BILs lake house one evening.

DH had an unsettling experience with one only, and he's worked outdoors in forestry all his life. He was surveying a timber unit about an hour + half from here and had gone alone that day, he rarely works without our tech. He called me sounding weird (for him ;0)) and said he'd seen a cougar/mountain lion in the woods, reversed his direction and started hiking out back to the truck. He kept getting glimpses of it, it was moving parallel to him barely out of sight and showing itself occasionally. The only thing he had with him in the way of self defense was his cruisers ax and thought for a while he might find himself in hand to claw battle with a big cat.

He was back in the truck when he called, shaken, doors locked.

Love it!

Mor, that is sooooo scary!

Jasdip, love that ad....thanks for posting.

he called, shaken, doors locked.

While it's not to be made light of, I had to giggle: I don't think kitties can open doors. He was really shaken! Making sure it wouldn't get him. Aw. Poor guy.

I know that area....it's not far from me! :0) We have those in our backyard.

I saw one, across the street in the apple orchard, carrying a mt lion cub in her mouth. I try to stay aware when working outside because we are way up in the mountains where lots of wild life live.

I want to know who the brave person was that ventured outside to take the picture! The little boy peering out the window is the smarter one!

They are beautiful animals, wild animals! Can you imagine if the FedEx guy came walking up with a package!

Morz I applaud your DH I would have gone home for a change of clothes after an experience like that, and maybe something to calm the nerves.

WOW, I'd be scared to death!

GEEZ! I never even noticed person at the door. I would want something a little more substantial between me and that kitty! I imagine we have them in many areas of NJ. Way up north there are mountains (bumps compared to anything out west) & down south nothing but pine barrens. It looks awfully relaxed and comfortable with its surroundings... THAT would make it even scarier.

I've seen two in the wild, both in Northern California where I grew up. While driving down a mountain road in my driver education class, I had to slam on the brakes as one was sitting in my lane just after I rounded a curve. The other Mt. Lion I sighted was while I was on horseback at dusk at the riding stable I worked at. My horse and I were walking up an trail when all of a sudden his ears went flat. I looked up and on a branch just above me sat a big old mountain lion. I hightailed out of there in a hurry (really, the worse thing you can do because then you appear to be prey). But I guess the horse looked too big to eat so the cat didn't give chase.

They are here in So Calif but I've talked to park rangers who have shared the outdoors with the big cats for 25+ years and never seen one.

We've got bobcats this year visiting yards in our development. We had a somewhat wetter winter, and the rabbits are profuse this year, which must be attracting them.

Bobcats will get that rabbit population down for sure. Bobcats are great at getting rid of pests too. They're important to the ecology.
