Not that this is anything unusual, but early this morning a mountain lion killed and partially ate a deer in my driveway. I live across from Manzanita Lake, in case anybody else on the forums lives in this general area.

I am keeping my cat indoors for a while. Already had a bobcat chase her right up onto the deck -- don't need a bigger kittie doing the same!

Anyway, it's just a "heads-up" so people can be aware and maybe keep a closer eye on their pets. Lions hafta eat, but hopefully they will stick to a deer diet.

A few years ago, though, a neighborhood dog was dragged off by a lion, and somebody in Oakhurst reported a lion got their little dog right off their porch ... so you never know.

That is spooky!! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shocked.gif I don't live too far from Manzanita Lake. Hopefully that cat will stick to a deer diet. I have my big dog on my front porch. I have a big porch and it sits really high. It is fenced off. Hopefully his big bark will scare that cat away if it comes around.

A couple of nights before the kill in my driveway, I saw it run across the dirt road, coming from my property. I had been driving and saw it in the headlights as it ran.
