There is a cougar in the city. It was spotted downtown few days ago. I probably mentioned this already, but I have an animal phobia! I am trying to be strong and not run away screaming whenever I am near a dog, you know, for my kid’s sake! It will be embarrassing if my boys are afraid of dogs! I even let a dog kiss my nose the other day! I was so brave!
But not a cougar!! On our trips through the Rockies we were always on the lookout for wild animals and would not go hiking out of fear of running into a bear, cougar, wolf or any other scary wild animal! We stayed close to the car, just in case! I know we are chickens..bak bak!
And now there is a cougar running around the city! Yeh ok I am not going for walks any time soon! I know exactly what to do if I run into one though. But still! What if he is too hungry to care! Maybe I should walk around with some meat in my purse to throw it to him so he will eat that instead of me or my kids, but then what if it is not enough and my kids look so small and yummy to him!
Ok let’s pray we do not run into the cougar hanging around Saskatoon! They are called mountain lions, aren’t they supposed to be in the mountains and not in the prairies??!
Since my kids are so into animals, we have been reading lots of animal books, it says that cougar attacks on humans are very rare! But with my luck, I don’t want to risk it!
Did you know that cougars are the only big cats that meow and do not roar! At least he won’t be scaring us with a big roar! An animal that meow just sounds so harmless eh?So if I stop posting for a while, you’ll know that a cougar has eaten me :o)
