[fishinwrench]

My cat buries his poop.

Yeah, and then you go dig it up. I'll never understand "cat people".

Um, no, I'm not a digger. I'm a dump it in the woodser with full hazmat suit and respirator. After the last 6 months of feline adventures, I'm becoming less of a cat person every day.

Mt Lions will varies in color toms will be different than females. That pic appears to be a cat. but loks more like a tiger than a Mt Lion.

lat 100 years no melenistic Mt Lions have been seen in the wild or captive.

Yea as said dont google Cougar.

As mentioned Mt Lions dont dig a hole for the prey, they do how ever cover it up and come back to it over a few days.

No he doesn't. He covers it with available material.

After listening to the debate it is obvious the llama probably pre-buried itself then ate part of itself and died of blood loss, as it seems like no other animals would do exactly what happened to this poor llama.

Poor guy probably couldn't handle the stress of trying to support all of his girlfriends and their illegitimate children in this down economy.

Yet another victim of methamphetamines in the Ozarks...

I've known people who had both cats and dogs.

The cat would puke up a hair ball and the dog would eat it.

The cat would poop and the dog would eat it.

The cat didn't drink from the toilet, the dog would.

And then you dog people let your dog lick you in the face.

I just don't understan you dog people.

It looks like a mt. lion to me. Smaller wild cats (bobcats, lynx, etc) generally have short tails. Hence the name "bobcat"- it's because of the "bobbed" tail. The animal in the picture appears to have the outline of a large cat and a long tail. The dark color- the side of the animal in the picture was probably in shadow or it was a cloudy day.

As far as the llama that was killed, it sounds like a mt lion kill- half eaten and "buried" for later. Also, cougars in South America rely heavily on llamas/alpacas/etc. (the wild ones) for food.

And it definitely makes sense that mountain lions are rarely seen. All the ones that weren't afraid of people were killed off a long time ago. Also, people spend a lot less time in the woods than they used to 200 years ago. Combined with less cats to actually see, and it all makes sense.
