March 10, 2007: The cat wants in

Undertoad · 03-10-2007, 02:01 PM

Another set that's too wide for your browsers, but I can't help but post them
full size.

xoxoxoBruce sends these along, apparently from an E-mail forward?
The text in the email:

Quote:

These pictures were taken by a guy in Martin, SD.
Pictures from his kitchen onto his patio deck.

I googled "a guy in Martin, SD" and found this link to
the same four shots, along with the following text:

Quote:

These pictures were taken by a guy in Martin, SD. He took
the pictures from his kitchen looking out onto his patio deck
after he discovered the mountain lion watching his children
playing on the kitchen floor.

Something about that last sentence pinged a note in my head.
Aha: four days ago Snopes researched this one, and the result?

Quote:

We spoke with Dave Hamilton of the Missouri Department of
Conservation's Mountain Lion Response Team, who has been tracking
these pictures, and he informed us that they were actually taken
back around 2001 or 2002 by Dr. Dave Rogers at his home in Lander,
Wyoming (with the detail about the big cat's "watching his little
kids on the kitchen floor" being a bit of fictitious sensationalism
added by unknown hands).

Wyoming, South Dakota, it doesn't really matter.
Because you know if there had been kids in the house, this cat would have been
watching them.

its like seeing a big spider right next to your hand and getting that momentary "HOLY SHIT" feeling. you look out and see big fucking teeth and eyes watching you.

SPUCK · 03-11-2007, 06:16 AM

Kitty needs a load of 00 buckshot.

Or for you softies a load of rock salt so he figures out humans and houses are bad juju.

If I saw a cat like that hanging around my back door there's no way I'd be bothering to ring the response team. I'd just shoot it. Same as I'd hit a snake over the head with a shovel.

I guess I'd have to have a gun first, but if I lived where there'd be a chance of animals like that hanging around, I'd have one.

In the mean time, I DO have my trusty shovel under the house.

Those kitty cats are sposed to be making a comeback around here. I'm not so thrilled with the prospect.

Today I heard about a new accidental introduction here, Russian boars... mmm... pass the cabbage.

Let us hope you never live anywhere more wild than suburbia, then. Geeze.
