Mountain Lion In Mason Texas, Got It From Bennie ...

These pictures are from a guy out in Mason , TX . The pictures were taken from his kitchen onto his deck this year when it snowed in January. The (cat) mountain lion was watching his little kids playing on the kitchen floor. It is not a pet. In case you don't know Mason is located north of San Antonio,TX between Austin and San Angelo.

We get young ones here all the time; the mountains west of Salt Lake are full of the cats and now and then some get chased down into the valley and get holed up in somebody's yard after being chased by dogs and kids.

Joated does look like a young'un. No doubt attracted by the sound of his young'uns playing on the floor. Ya it is Texas the homeowner no doubt has a few guns.

BobG I bet that is exciting when the neighborhood kids and dogs tree one of those cats in the back yard.

That's pretty scary!!! Yikes! I would have some protection just in case...you never know. A dog is a good idea also if he does not get eaten up by a wild animal...my step-daughter out in Santa Fe, NM had two house dogs to get eaten up by coyotes...they live on the outskirts of town.

Marian that is a shame about your step-daughters dogs. That happens around DFW. They keep building new houses out into the countryside and people lose cats and dogs to the coyotes and bobcats.

About Me

Name: JDP

Location: Fort Worth, Texas, United States

I am 61 years of age, married with two children, a son age 31 and a daughter age 28. I was forced to retire in 2001 due to health problems. I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy a short time later. I worked for fifteen years in the Insurance Claims business. I then worked for about five years for the State Of Texas Department of Human Services. Being disabled and not working is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. My respiratory system is weak and I have to sleep and breath with the aid of a Bipap machine and an oxygen concentrator. This has all but stopped me from making overnight trips away from home due to the equipment being bulky and not easy to move and set up. I have for the most part had to give up the things I loved to do the most which were hunting and fishing. I also can't drive my 1983 Jeep CJ-5 any longer because it has a standard transmission. It is now in my son's hands. I hope he takes good care of it. Being disabled sucks. I am taking it one day at a time. My children are a blessing though they can be trying at times. We have an american eskimo dog named Foxy we got from a rescue organization and a stray cat my daughter named White Kitty.
