***Shapira added that this was the first time he had ever encountered a leopard entering a home***

I once had to tame a tiger in tight fittin’ jeans!:-)

Several times!

The pic with the article shows the Mr. Damush holding the leopard by the scruff of the neck, paralyzing it. Smart guy.

The cat, BTW, was OK.

"The picture shows a smaller animal than I was expecting."

I know what you mean. I don't think this story would have ended the same if it were a full grown adult cat.
"White Hunters" by Brian Herne has some vivid accounts of leopards getting the best of some hunters.
I wonder if the guy had any idea of how big that cat was before he decided to grab it.

It attacked his cat, he probably acted instinctively.

Who knew leopards like to eat cats?

I have an acquaintance who raises leopards and has done TV/etc. commercials with them. They have pretty much zero respect for the housecats and will kill them almost for sport.

Who knew leopards like to eat cats? Isn't that a kind of cannibalism?

Cats in the wild seem to have no compunction about killing and occasionally eating each, if those wildlife documentaries are any guide - there have been reports of Bengal tigers killing and eating Asiatic lions in the Gir forest of India during times of drought, African lions will kill and eat leopards, and apparently cougars include bobcat on their menus.

Brave guy to grab it, though.

Absolutely - but it must have been a young, small leopard for him to have gotten away with it.

I had a cousin who had one for a while and it killed her cats but was buddy, buddy with the dogs.

A Negev resident woke up early Monday morning to find a leopard in his bedroom.

Don't you just hate when that happens.
