BOULDER, Colo. -- Mountain lion encounters in Colorado aren’t exactly rare, but they don’t usually produce such great photo opportunities.

Gail Loveman, who lives in Boulder’s Pine Brook Hill neighborhood, snapped a handful of photos of a standoff involving a mountain lion and her Maine cook [sic] cat, Zeus.

It happened last Thursday evening when the cougar walked up her porch and peeked through a sliding glass door.

My parent’s tiny Siamese cat had a virtually identical stare-down with a mountain lion through the window about 10 years ago!

My second-cousin is a game warden in Wyoming. A few years ago, when my dad and I were out visiting family, his folks showed us a photo of a mountain lion he’d killed because it was killing livestock over near Laramie. It was so big that it’s head hung off one side of his tailgate and part of the hindquarters hung off the other side.

Good photos of what appear to be juvenile mountain lions. Curious, aren’t they. The older ones tend to be more cautious and are seldom seen. They’ve been seen a few times stalking around livestock at night in my area. I’ve only seen sign (tracks, dung) a few times and a couple—each on different nights—in the headlights.
