What do you expect to find in your neighborhood! The cats have lost all their space, where are they supposed to go?

That's a big kitty cat

They are after all “cats”. They keep a low profile. If they want to remain unseen they can do it. This one has probably been driven out of his regular environment. What a privilege to see that though.

My first impression after seeing all those roof tops from the aerial view is that so few Americans have solar panels on their roofs. Australians provide 14% of the country’s entire electricity needs from roof top solar.

You stop it. 27 puma caused deaths in over 100 years (including kids btw). Fact check it. That kind of paranoia is why deer and boar are so rampant and how crop yields get lowered. They’re in rural areas, seen two of them and no story, no problems.

Look at the area on google earth.. there is a quite a large area that goes from this neighbor hood to the coastline and it's mostly rural up and down the coast here. It isn't a last resort, likely lockdowns and a dramatic drop in human presense outside in this area has made it so the cat had no enocuter to divert it away from the edge of town. Also like is said in the video it may have been pushed out by it's own mother and it could just be a sign that the population is healthy for these cats. I've lived here decades and you hear about sightings of these cats nearly every year around the edge of that side of town.

It's typical for a young male to roam hundreds of square miles looking to establish territory. This is why most of the lions encountered in residential neighborhoods are young males. This lion is definitely eating.

Cats and dogs yummy

This lion must be starving and any who encounters it is in big trouble.
