Songs that are on your mind

@snowflake954 Oooo, don't you know it. I've had one on the back porch all week long. Yesterday, she came to the front porch and I had the door open with only the screen door as a barrier. I talked to her through the screen and asked her what she was doing. She 'talked' to me and then I shut the door quickly.

The first night, she was pacing on the back porch for hours. I thought it was a man because it was raining. I finally looked and saw the mountain lion. That's what we call them out here. She was tearing down my bird houses, looking for birds. I had some bird seed and she ate all of that. She's really hungry which means she might be sick. The Game and Fish can't hang around during the night but I see her hanging around up on the hillside. She's lonely because she talked to me like a big house cat. I know. I know.

"The cat of many names, it's referred to as the puma, panther, mountain cat, mountain lion, mountain screamer, painter, just to name a few. The cougar has more monikers than almost any other living mammal, 40 in English alone. The reason: The name used depends on location, and there are a lot of those to be had."

If they're old and hanging around humans, they're usually sick.
"Researchers tested 28 mountain lions for disease, and found that nearly half had been exposed to the plague (Yersinia pestis). However, because they usually don't go near humans, these big cats are unlikely to get anyone sick." They live 8-13 years. They'll eat cats, dogs and domestic animals.

@snowflake954 Did you watch the Queen's Jubilee, yesterday? Princess Anne rode on horseback.

@snowflake954 I can only imagine how much the squirrels missed you. I sure did and that's no smoke.
