The lady phoned the coppers, & said she was being bothered by a large cat. The dispatcher assumed this meant “do-mes-tic-a-ted”. No such moggie, Serpico.

(AP) - A police officer didn’t think much of a call to shoo off a bothersome “kitty cat” at a home in Casper, Wyo. > > Then the officer arrived at the home of Beverly Hood. It was no ordinary domestic feline - but a male mountain lion weighing 80 to 90 pounds.

I saw a stone sculpture of a mountain lion in Santa Fe last weekend. Someone had left a Bible lying across its paws. Maybe it was supposed to be the lion of Judah? They do come into town here sometimes. Usually, if they aren’t presenting a great danger to passersby, they get tranquilized and moved back into the mountains. ---

I always wonder what goes through the minds of animals who are tranquilized and “re-located.” “Who’s wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?” (Stolen from Peter Frampton)
