Walt Longmire Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 I would have hucked some rocks at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Lots of rocks, a lot earlier than 6 minutes in. Dude, a 12 pound house cat will KICK YOUR ASS. Imagine a cat 10 times as big, wild, and angry. Fortunately, I hear they're kinda fragile, like coyotes, when they get lead poisoning. Did I hear the guy right, bemoaning not having a gun? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and if it came within 50 feet, I would see how many of those 15 rounds would land on the cat. I would never turn my back on it. You may think you are disengaging with it, but a predator sees that as a weakness! I love critters, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be some kitty's dinner!

Cheygriz Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 It is better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbie18 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yeah, I'm pretty sure I would have done a panic magazine dump of 16 rounds in 2 seconds towards that kitty. That would either kill the kitty or frighten it away. And yes, afterward, I always have a spare magazine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Czervik Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Dear moron, Stay away from the baby kitties. Pack a gun and a knife, use accordingly. Cougars are ambush attackers. In the absence of a weapon, pull your shirt or jacket above your head growl, and stand your ground or advance on it. Throw rocks or sticks. They don't like that. I'd hate to orphan the two munchkin cats, but if my kids were with me, I would throw a bunch of 10mm at it right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mother was young and stupid. I might have made them all pay, or took the cubs home as pets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 That was definitely a "GTFOH, man," action by the cat. Not a "Come here, dinner." Everything I've ever read, you don't see the cat that attacks you to eat you. I'd imagine if she was thinking about eating him, she woulda slinked off, hid the kids, then snuck back around behind him. Of course, that's MMQB-ing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwalchmai Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Never seen a catamount in the wild, but my blood is still a little curdled from the pre-dawn scream of a bobcat I heard while hunting in 1964... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice I have heard screaming in the woods of the PNW. Once at night. Sounded like a woman being murdered with a knife. Once during the day while deer hunting. A single long loud scream. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 One night the wife and I heard what sounded like a baby being brutally murdered. The next morning, nothing outside the bedroom window. People say that's the sound of a Rabbit being attacked. All I know was that it sounded terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I heard was way up the scale from that. My hair stood on end. My brother and my friend and I GTFO real quick. And we were armed to the teeth. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyotes used to Eat Hares right outside our House, and Yes it sounds like a Baby on fire being Put out with a Fork.. then the Baying of the rest of the pack, really freaked people out.
