A yardful of cougar bait! And a cougar showed up? AMAZING!!
It’ll be back. Are you kidding me?
That Cougar could smell that Puppy-scent a mile away
Not to mention the cat scent, the chicken scent, small human scent.....
The little girl and mom should be explained why they shouldn’t have run. The should have backed out carefully. This could have ended tragically.
Not the Monroe I was thinking of lol
The cat literally pissed itself while being chased down by a cougar.
I’d piss myself too!
I’m just a valley away from Monroe.
That cougar will be back soon though. I assure you that much!
Too much easy picking on that property.
I think we deserve to know where...
The way it’s gaze fell upon the little girl was revealing
@@danielmartin7838 It was after the cat and ran once it realized it was upon humans. It's that simple. It's no longer thinking of prey when face-to-face with top predators like us.
So that’s what that feels like, thought the house cats
And that right there is why you don't have cats outdoors. Could've been one of the much more numerous coyotes, let alone a cougar. Keep an eye on your pets when they're out in places where predators are.
Here kitty kitty.
That cat has 100s of years of history roaming that land so now humans took the land from it , it will still show up. Its crazy how this family doesn't see it that way and feels it just so crazy that its even there.
Very cool
Too right. I’ve been chased by a mother bear and have always wanted to see a cougar. Ideally, to smell one, lion and Tiger, too.
They can make good pets when raised young. However sadly not legal in this state. They can also be good guard pets too keeping bad predatory people at bay
There is a good case that the black kitty intentionally drew the cougar away from the mom and daughter. At :28 kitty sticks its head from behind the trashcan and looks at its family then goes back behind the trashcan turning towards the exit in the cougar's direction. When the cougar turns its head :29 towards mom and daughter, brave kitty takes a huge risk inches away from the big cat and darts by it. Domestic cats sharing 90% DNA with humans have a strong family protection instinct as well as survival instinct. In this case it was likely a little of both for the brave black kitty.
FENCE YOUR DMN PROPERTY!!!
Fences our racist remember when trump wanted one?
It's a large cat that could clear any fence or wall you want to put up in one hop.
What ever it takes there are several types of fences
You can't really keep a cougar out. They can jump nearly 20 feet vertically.
They'd need a mighty tall fence.
Lol omg
Bee stings seriously. A cougar tried to eat an old lady on a bicycle trail.
