Mountain Lion? in woods in backyard - 2007/08/22 09:38
hi everyone,
we live in the northern part of town and i think we have a mountain lion / cougar / bobcat hanging out in the woods in our backyard... our next door neighbor saw what she said was a mountain lion in her backyard.. i saw what looked like a large gold colored animal moving from branch to branch in a tree a couple of weeks ago.. when i went closer to investigate, it was either hiding so well i could not see it - or it was gone..
this weekend, we found a bunch of feathers near the same area of woods where i saw the animal in the tree... it looked like a large bird had just been destroyed and all that was left were a pile of feathers...
anyway, we have a small dog... we have been keeping him near us when we are outside and not letting him outside alone... also we have not been letting him near that portion of the woods at all.. we also have a babygirl.. when she is like 2-3 yrs. old, etc.. we will keep an eye on her and keep her away from that part of the woods as well..
besides that - is there anything else we should / could do about this??? we definitely appreciate the wildlife and don't want someone killing any animals.... is there a way to make the cat leave the area ??? scare it away or something???? will it attack our pet or child in broad daylight if we are nearby?????
not sure anyone will know the answers to these kinds of questions but figured i would give it a shot..
thank you
