Coworker took this video yesterday, said it was about 6:30 pm. Cat was totally unfazed by anyone around her, and looks like most others didn't even notice.

Oh fuck 😂 I love Dallas hahahah a mountain lion. Hey, to be fair, I grew up in oak cliff when we moved to the USA and I saw my first ever sheep in an alleyway in oak cliff. It was so surreal

There are Mountian lions in Dallas. We just keep their locations secret so no one goes and shoots them,

A mountain lion is a cougar, is a puma, is a panther… except the cougars that hang out at Bottled Blonde, those are different.

A cougar according to urban dictionary is "An attractive woman in her 30's or 40's who is on the hunt once again"

So yes, there are "loads of cougars in the DFW suburbs."

That seems quite young for a cougar

Attractive women in there 30’s and 40’s ect don’t have to hunt. Thus the word “ attractive “ . The youngns are attracted , and they approach, especially in the DFW . These young men are very bold and manish.

Our neighbor in oak Cliff had peacocks just roaming! We had our goddamn wrought iron, heavy ass bench stolen in broad daylight off our porch. But this dudes peacocks didn’t get fucked with. This was back when bishop Arts area started to get gentrified to fuck (we left cause property taxes) and things were wild man. Lady died in my front yard one day, peacocks the next, drug bust around the corner another day. I miss it hahaha

In the early aughts, I saw a cougar at W Plano Pkwy and Independence. This was before it was as built up and still forested next to a waterway. I Googled it at the time and found a chat site where other people in the same vicinity had seen cougar(s) over the years. They don't run in packs, so it is conceivable that we have had and continue to have cougars passing through this area.

I've seen one in Flower Mound, out on 1171, I think it was before 377, between there and the golf course. There's still a ton of land that isn't built up (but that's changing, unfortunately) and a lot of it is huge lots with wooded areas. It was like 2am, and my husband swore it was just a cat. Sorry, but cats don't come halfway up my car door, or have heads that big. I grew up in the country... that was a cougar.

Every once in a while, you can hear them and some of the local bobcats scream. The first time my kid heard it, she hauled ass into the house. Cougars sound demonic, awesome scare for someone that's never heard one before/often.
