yup its a mountain lion :x i saw one when i was paint balling, except i shot it to keep it away from all the little kids, lucky there is fences around. except the little barn with some livestock.

its probably there to drink some of your delicious water

. since waterhole attract many wildlife animals

ok seriously people, if the yellow cat was standing on the same rock the "mountainlion" clearly is, they would be the same height.

I've polled the vets and techs at work, and the general consensus is house kitty.

Okay emys, lets try to settle it this way.

What are the dimensions of the chair in the back ground and what are the dimensions of the pond?

Compare those dimensions to the dimensions of an adult mountain lion:
Average Length: 60 to 95 inches
Average Height: 27 to 31 inches at the shoulder
Average Weight: 115 to 160 pounds (adult male); 75 to 110 pounds (adult female)

See http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/wildlife/directory_show.cfm?species=mountainlion

Dimensions of a an adult cougar:
Average Length: 5 to 9 feet
average Height: 2 - 2.5 feet
Average Weight: 115 to 198 lbs
Seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cougar#Physical_characteristics


As of Sept 22, 2009 the world tallest domestic cat is 17" tall.

Whatever it is, I wouldn't want to encounter it at night.

Good thought, but I think it's a juvenile. Not big enough for an adult.

Mountain Lions and Cougars are the exact same animal. Did you mean to put the dimensions of a different type of cat?

I think comparing dimensions is a great idea. Don't forget about the paw prints!
