bikermouse, I'm sure. A mountain lion would be very expensive to feed... especially if she also preferred Fancy Feast. Of course, I could supplement her diet with the occasional door-to-door salesmen and the kids who ride their bikes through my perennial beds. :)= There are mountain lions here in the Bay Area. When we go hiking, even in local parks, we have to keep an eye open and not act like prey. One of my friends photographed one in Mountain View, just 2 weeks after I'd been in the same park. ::sniff:: It wasn't starving. ;^) Carolly
