http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018...ns-lurking-on-porch-it-blew-my-mind.htmlThis isn't my video, but it's my town and Conifer isn't that big. We've seen coyotes, bear, deer, and elk in the backyard, a moose 1/4 mile down the road, and heard mountain lions before, but never seen them. Looks like I might need to upsize my running gun from a J-frame to something that holds a few more rounds. Though I'd probably be lucky to get one round off if these furry critters mistook me for deer. Made for a cool video, but I'd have strongly persuaded them that my deck was not a place to be bellying up to the bar for a drink.

A 10MM would work well on them.

Cool! I saw one crossing Hwy 285 one night about 8 years ago near Tiny Town....first one I had seen in Colorado.

When I lived in Kittredge, Evergreen and Conifer back in the late 1980s and early 90s, cougars were common everywhere. I still remember the tragedy of a young distance runner at Georgetown who was stalked and killed by a lion that had been patterning him for several days. Some friends who lived up in Coal Creek Canyon kept a camera with a telephoto lens on their back patio so that they could get pictures of lions traveling up and down the canyon. During that same period, a jogger in Boulder was attacked, as well.
The cats followed mule deer, their primary prey, as the deer moved down into "open space" preserves established in the burgeoning neighborhoods in the foothills.

Call this chick if they become too much of a problem.....she might be able to blink them out of town and set up a psycopathic perimeter. My god, this is pure gold. This deserves a copy and paste to be enshrined on the campfire forever.

This is wild. There’s a mountain lion in our living room. Loving her to peace so she’ll go out safely.
Update: (Spoiler alert!)
--
The last video I shared below shows her leaving peacefully after calming down and napping behind the sofa for over six hours. I'm adding this here, along with the photos and videos of her snuggling and sleeping, because they've become buried behind other comments and I feel a responsibility to get this out so as not to sow fear. I've been urged to point out that I have extensive experience working with energy and animals and I'm not suggesting anyone seek out interactions with mountain lions.
I also want to make sure people get the important lesson here about frequency and attunement. Cats are extremely psychic and perceptive of energy and this lion could have been dangerous in an energy field of fear or anger. In fact, before I consciously elevated the energy field and entrained her to a theta state, a housemate had shouted and slammed a door upon seeing her and the lion was frightened, agitated, and determined to exit through a closed window. Once the energy shifted, she calmed down.
When she was so quiet and it was obvious from the position of her feet on the wall that she was laying down, I went outside to see through the window what she was doing. She was sleeping! When I made noise, she woke up and looked startled so I consciously raised my frequency, gazed lovingly into her eyes, and communicated using feline-speak eye blinking to calm her. It was amazing to realize that this worked. I gazed lovingly then blinked hard and then she did it back! Then, she went back to sleep.
She clearly felt safe and she showed no inclination to leave. When she woke again,I again connected in a loving gaze and communicated trust through blinking. My housemate came out and the lion became very alert to a new person. I explained about the energy and the blinking and she dropped into her heart, blinked, and the lion blinked back at her, relaxed, and curled up to sleep some more.
It was just a couple hours to dawn and we needed to prompt her to leave without alarming her so much that she panicked. I sent telepathic pictures of the routes out of the house via open doors and the route out the backyard, across the creek, through an open field, and back up into the hills. We got guidance that the way to rouse her and get her to leave her safe spot behind the sofa without panicking was through drumming.
We called in native ancestors’ support and started drumming. She roused and knew just what to do.... walking out through the open doors, through the yard, across the creek, and through the empty field behind us exactly as we had shown her.
It was a perfect ending to a blessed encounter that could have been dangerous if approached from a lower frequency. Thank you for seeing and honoring the spirit of the encounter and this beautiful and powerful animal.

This cat was drinking from our large fountain/pond that's right at the back door before she came in. The door was open and the room has huge plants & stairs built around real tree branches, so she likely didn't even realize she was walking indoors until she was inside. She immediately tried to leave through a closed window, became frightened when someone screamed, and hid behind the sofa. While it's important that animals have water sources during fire season, I would not suggest putting water sources right near a door or in a thoroughfare.
I am hopeful and confident this cougar will not be back. She was urged telepathically to go straight back through the open field into the hills and never come into town again for her own safety. And she did go straight through the open field, away from homes when she left! ... May she stay safely in the hills to enjoy a long life as a wild and healthy lion. 🙏🏽

Just heard, this morning, that one has been seen hanging around close to Thermopolis, Wy. With all of the deer that live in town....it’s not surprising! memtb

Our mountain range has plenty of deer and turkeys, so we get visits from the resident mountain lions. I am assured by a knowledgeable friend that they are unlikely to bother us humans. The dogs appear to be more vulnerable, and I had to shoo a BIG cat off our patio, away from the dog, last summer. My friend lives about a mile away, gets lots of activity around his place, too. I worry mostly about the chickens. They would get all flustered if they saw the trail cam photos and I can imagine their greater consternation if a cougar were to size them up as they parade around their run. Loving gaze. Right.
Recently there was a "bear attack" a few miles away in another small mountain town. It is unfortunate because the bear "had to be killed (for Rabies testing)" according to the NM G&F, and, uncertain about which bear might have been the culprit, they killed a total of 4 in that general vicinity. The genius who was injured had been feeding the bear(s) on his patio. Damn near Darwinian behavior, Lauren.

Several years back I worked on a home near Chautauqua Park in Boulder.
Five blocks away a mountain lion went into a house through the doggy door and had a pet cat for lunch.

Lions are amazing animals. Happy they are apart of our world.
That said, a couple of those cats would of caught a 22short slug in the skull.

To All,
Fwiw, we have at least ONE really BIG Tom that is "resident" in DOWNTOWN San Antonio. = He has been photographed numerous times on surveillance cameras at banks, office buildings, etc.
According to a local Game Warden, he is quite well-fed, "obviously healthy as a horse" & probably weighs at least 125-150 pounds.
(The GW suspects that he's living upon stray dogs/cats & other "urban wildlife" = We have MANY whitetail deer, coyotes, raccoons, possums, etc. in the downtown area/urban "green spaces"/parks, as well as in the SA suburbs.)
To my knowledge, NOBODY has actually seen the cat "in person" but the photos of him, taken over a period of nearly a year, are positive proof that he's a new Alamo City resident.
(I've wondered where he dens up in the daylight hours.)
yours, tex
