20 pounds of upset kitty easliy looks like 150 pounds of terror cat. Just imagine what a n 80-150 pound mountain lion looks like up close and personall with no cage in between you.

There was a reason we hunted and killed off the big predators. It was to keep them from jacking with us and ours. Of course we used to eat the deer, rabbits and basically everything else they were living off of, but for a guy who's a little antsy about ignorant folks and there killer dogs (and the breed for that changes every couple of years) having natural, wild predators in the neighborhood, at any population density, makes me a bit nervous. I don't want to chase an airplane into the bushes only to come face to face with the lions. I have seen one half a pasture away, luckily we both went the opposite directions. But had it been hungry, and I not observant, I would have become a couple of meels.

To predators, we are not Man, we are Meat!
