March 10, 2007: The cat wants in - Page 3

Part of my job on our ranch was to kill as many boar as I could. It could have been a full-time job had I had the time.
They are amazing animals.

My father used to shoot wild pigs for a station owner west of the city we live in. I remember going out there with him when I was a kid. I used to love rounding up the pigletts when the sows were killed. Unfortunately, they used to disappear over night usually.

Welcome to the Cellar, mate.

I'm embarrassed it's been twelve hours and 9 posts since you posted and nobody said howdy. Must be the wildcats and snakes got 'em distracted.

You must be kidding?! When they're in your yard staring into your house they aren't looking for mice! They are eating your cats and dogs and you or your wife when you take the garbage out. A cat this unafraid is something to be very afraid of. As he's not out going for his staple which are supposed to be deer.

It's still a cat and curious about everything. They'll check out everything that gets their attention, until satisfied or frightened away.
I'm sure they question whether anything new is a danger or not. But I wonder if they question whether anything new is prey, if they have a reliable chow line?

This cat isn't a big deal. Per the Snopes article:

Quote:

Wyoming is a western state with a population of several thousand cougars. Dr. Rogers lives in a riparian corridor with a good cougar habitat and plenty of deer, so sightings are not surprising in the area.

Seeing curious wild animals on the back patio isn't all the unusual when you live in a wild area. Nothing to be afraid of, until some dumbass starts feeding the thing.

I wouldn't go so far as saying nothing to be afraid of. Any time you have the chance of startling a critter, big enough to kill you, there is something to be afraid of. That said, they aren't usually a problem if you exercise reasonable caution not to sneak up on them.
My Mom's neighborhood has a problem with bears in the yard, tearing up the bird feeders.

Honestly, I don't know why people complain about the poisonous animals in Australia. I think I'd rather die from snakebite than be ripped apart by a bear or lion. Imagine being eaten while you're still able to watch.

They eat mice, too...along with your pet cats and dogs. Hey, if you're that afraid of them, live in a big city, like I do.

If you're taken by one of these, you will not go gentle into that good night.

If you see one of these hanging around your patio, you have got some bigger problems, however.
