My cougar is a grandma

[Virgil Showlion]

Her first litter of cougar cubs just had their first litter of cubs. My house is one big cougar family.



In other news, my landlord is suing me.

Stay Frosty,

Virgil

I first read the title as "My grandma is a cougar."

Awwww, that picture is adorable! Do you mean you actually HAVE cougars? What the...how do you come to have cougars?  Do you live at a zoo?  Or do you live in an area where there are wild cougars that you have come to know (although, that adorable face doesn't look at all wild)?

I'm confused. 

But congratulations anyway!

[Peace Of Mind]

LMAO!!!  I'm trying to figure out which story is more awesome.  "My Grandma is a Cougar" or yours. 

[mmhmm]

That's too darned cute to be legal, Virgil!

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

Congratulations, "Daddy Virgil !!

I first read the title as "My grandma is a cougar" as well.

No, I live in a condo right in downtown Toronto. Most of my neighbours love the cougars.

There's one bastard down the hall who made an unholy fuss when his butt-ugly pug got eaten (I paid him back), and my landlord is suing me for what he claims is a "river of cat pee" flowing down the courtyard steps when I take my babies out for their morning constitutional.

But aside from them, I find most people pretty accommodating.

[Peace Of Mind]

I almost forgot!  Congratulations Virgil!!!

So I guess when you told Mrs Virgil that you were going out to pick up a pair of Pumas you meant it literally - and she was probably pretty surpised when you walked back in the door with the four-legged furry kind instead of the running shoe kind.

You and POM are both right, in a sense.

I asked DW to buy me something wonderful for my birthday.

She returned with some cougars, who (in addition to bears and crocodiles) are the only predators that will feed on snow leopards. For my birthday, we released six snow leopard cubs into a zoo enclosure along with the hungry cougars. Then we took bets on which cub would survive the longest. It was a kind of "Cabin in the Woods" thing. Great fun.

<<grabs wine and party favors>>  Ummm, gotta go now!

Virgil, you little devil, you! I've only been on here sporadically in the last week or two, so I didn't even know there already was a "My grandma is a cougar" thread. 

Ya got me!   Does this fall under the "You snooze, you lose" category?  If I had been here more often like I was supposed to be, I would've gotten the joke. -shucks2-

It falls in the 'If you knew Virgil...' category.

I'm well-known for such goofy flights of fancy.

And people owning cougars isn't as unbelievable as some people might think. Go on YouTube and you can find dozens of videos of people who own them.

<<Make a note to avoid downtown area condos on spring visit. >> Cougars are fine; Virgil, maybe not so much.

The post about the pug cracked me up.

[Jaguar]

This whole thread cracks me up.

[dannylion]

I want to pet the baby cougar.  Maybe not. 

Those are some big paws. 

[busymom]

I tawt I taw a puddy tat... 



Nicely done, Virgil!  

[Artemis Windsong]

A cougar is a snow leopard in disguise.

Congratulations gramps.

[Virgil Showlion]

Hello dannylion. If you go down the hall, then across the street, one block south, and up two floors, there's a lady sitting at a desk with a gum wrapper stuck in her chair. And it's crinkling.

Crinkling, crinkling, crinkling. Loud, loud, loud.

Please ask her to put it in the garbage.

Thanks ever so much.

You should have used FedEx.  They'll deliver anything.  Ask for extra bubble wrap.

Ha! And you thought I was joking!

My plan worked perfectly.

Expect one (extremely hungry) bubble-wrapped cougar within two to four business days of reading this.

Woo hoo!  I'm gettin' my own pet cougar!  Not to worry.  There are plenty of feral neighbor kids to keep you well fed.

This one has what we might call... 'overprotectiveness issues'.

For your sake, I hope you don't have a husband. Or a boyfriend. Or a parent living at home. Or people coming to visit you.

...Or a mailman who comes all the way up to your front door.

Still, why look a gift cougar in the mouth, right? If you're happy, I'm happy.

Nope, nobody ever comes here. I am the proverbial weird lady who lives by herself in the house at the end of the street that everyone avoids.

I'm not worried about the mailman. He intimidated the neighbor's psychotic German Shepherd. He'll be fine.

The only other people who come to the door are shady people trying to sell useless crap and the occasional odd duck who has misplaced Jesus wanting to know if I've found him.   Snacks.

I've never actually heard a proverb about weird, antisocial hermit ladies, but I'll take your word for it.

I suppose there is the tale of Hansel and Gretel, who fattened up her guests an...

Hey!
