Check Your Pants, Dude!
When Officer Mike Ableman was called to shoo a housecat off a woman’s porch in Wyoming, he hardly expected to encounter a 90-lb male mountain lion.
Beverly Hood, the homeowner, called for help when she saw the cougar snoozing on her porch. Like a game of “Telephone,” something got lost in translation, and the control center dispatcher told Officer Ableman that a housecat was bothering the woman. Imagine his surprise when he climbed onto the porch and found the napping cougar.
An officer from the Wyoming Fish and Game Department was summoned to tranquilize the cat and relocate it.
Hi Skeezy! You’re doing a great job on this blog. Mommy hasn’t let me get around much this week so I just saw your big news. This page is better pink in my opinion, it suits you.
I don’t think I’d like seeing that kitty on my porch, unless I hired him as muscle to keep the Vishus Deer away. They are everywhere!
Congrats Skeezix! You’re the puurfect choice
Hmmm … That ginormous kitty WOULD be good at keepin’ vishus deer away from our houses! Great idea, Hendrix!
DMM
SO GLAD this mountain lion was tranquilized and rehabbed! Good on them for doing the right thing for once.
Hmm – we’d rather see him in the yard than the vishus coyote. Mom would be out there feeding him Fancy Feast and rolling over for pettings.
Now that was some biiiiiig mistranslation. A housecat? Does that 911 officer still have a job or was she laughed off the force?
Now I know why thay make the BIG bags of Temptayshuns!
These mountain lions/cougars seem to be looking for new homes…..warm ones!
My Lady says she’d have taken the cougar’s picture and then called the DNR, so she could win the current photo contest–shooting out the window, of course!
