Reported Mountain Lion Wrecks Life

November 2nd, 2008 category: North Fork Neighborhoods, People and Places

Good for Denise Civiletti. An impressive “exchange” occurred here.

My life, living in the area where mountain lion sitings were confirmed by local residents, has changed.

Mind you, the sitings are QUITE close to our own house.

There’s a sign on the back door that reads, ”No dogs unattended”, lest I forget that with a cat that can jump 15 feet, my privacy fence is not at all that. It is unnerving to have to think about a large predatory cat, claws irrespective. Our bulldog might look VERY appetizing, with the min-pin as an appetizer.

Walking through woods recently purchased by the town is unthinkable for me. Honing in on what appears to be, at least according to sitings, the mountain lions present territory of choice is just creepy.

Would it be better to live in ignorance, assuming that two separate sitings in close proximity were an ignorable (not a word) coincidence?  It would be unthinkable not to report it as a serious likelihood, the presence of this large, predatory visitor- escaped exotic pet that it surely is.

It’s also a large animal that instinctively takes advantage of those unaware.

Having just returned from a visit with my granddaughter, and awareness of very small, and small children on my street, thank you for reporting the facts as they were obtained, Denise.

According to local residents who saw the same animal type.

That’s good enough for me until the town exhausts all measures to locate a potentially dangerous animal.

Whose cat is this, anyway?
