Cougar looks like it's starved.

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 26 points27 points ago

Yep, that little lion is hungry

[–]IlikePez 17 points18 points ago

It looks a bit malnourished indeed.

[–]kingjacoblear 14 points15 points ago

I think it looks a little famished.

[–]MozartTheCat 14 points15 points ago

Slightly emaciated.

[–]IlikePez 14 points15 points ago

Peckish, you might say.

[–]anaganji 36 points37 points ago

Get that fucker some fancy feast

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 11 points12 points ago

Oh gods, what did I start...

[–]03Titanium 2 points3 points ago

Are all the previous commenters wombats? It's ok, I won't tell anyone if they are.

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 2 points3 points ago

Shhh...

[–]RapedByKesha 2 points3 points ago

The pussy needs filling!

...her stomach. The cat needs her stomach filled. With food. Sicko.

[–]Ven0m831 4 points5 points ago

Well it looks like this pussy is gonna get torn up by that big black...

bear on the left side of the picture

[–]paopufruitjuice 1 point2 points ago

definitely didn't notice the bear the first time x_x wow

[–]festyear 0 points1 point ago

My cat eats his own fur. I dunno

[–]AlohaChris -1 points0 points ago

Lean and cadaverous.

[–]uchi 2 points3 points ago

Yerp. Mountain cats are quite recluse hunters and have pretty wide spaces between themselves. But if they're on the brink of starvation and incapable of catching any game, they move to more human populated areas to scavenge.

That is, if they don't run out of territory (forest) to begin with.

[–]tehaleks 1 point2 points ago

About ten years ago a mountain lion was found at a preschool near my house. Smart little kitty... found a plethora of prey, unable to run away or escape at decent speed.

[–]rlg 2 points3 points ago

Clever cat kills kids.

[–]trigg22 0 points1 point ago

How terrible

[–]sonotmybaby 55 points56 points ago

Dude it's Mittens. Let him the fuck in.

[–]Roy141 8 points9 points ago

What do the fuck do you mean "I've been replaced"?!?

[–]tiesto98 104 points105 points ago

[–]Jeroknite 15 points16 points ago

Fucking, Boulder, man. I've heard stories about that place.

[–]Bakoro 4 points5 points ago

I've heard stories about that place too. Something about a "Free Zone".

[–]Jeroknite 2 points3 points ago

Is that a reference of some kind?

[–]osteologation 2 points3 points ago

Yea

[–]buriedInPixels 1 point2 points ago

Can reddit ask to what?

[–]tankerhoosen 0 points1 point ago

The Stand

[–]buriedInPixels 0 points1 point ago

On my reading list, thanks!

[–]tankerhoosen -2 points-1 points ago

The Stand

[–]ZaneMasterX 5 points6 points ago

Boulder is filled with hippies, hipsters, douchbag jocks and trustafarians. Place isnt very cool at all.

[–]shark_claws 20 points21 points ago

I live in Boulder. Your interpretation is pretty accurate, but you forgot about the Subarus. Fucking everywhere

[–]suedebluesshoes 9 points10 points ago

Sounds like Santa Cruz, but without beaches.

[–]shark_claws 7 points8 points ago

Well we've got pretty nice mountains, but they're on fire a third of the year Edit: they're

[–]TheRealSamBell 2 points3 points ago

Funny you say that because I'm from Boulder and visited Santa Cruz for the first time several years ago. The first thing I said when I got there was, "This place is a lot like Boulder."

[–]skorh 2 points3 points ago

Went to undergrad in Santa Cruz and doing Grad in Boulder, they are the same town. One you surf, the other you climb, but the same town nonetheless!

[–]Posing_Hipster_011 0 points1 point ago

And the gangs

[–]dbenz 10 points11 points ago

gtfo, subarus are awesome

[–]shark_claws 11 points12 points ago

I know that they are good cars, my family owns two. I'm just saying that they are literally fucking everywhere

[–]lexxxgrace25 -2 points-1 points ago

Isn't boulder where that girl got kidnapped and did an AMA about it?

[–]BlueHaze18 4 points5 points ago

What on earth is a "trustafarian"?

[–]ZaneMasterX 19 points20 points ago

privileged white kids who subscribe to the hippie lifestyle (because they can) since they have no worries about money, a job etc. They can then devote their lives to eating organic, following Phish, and wearing dreadlocks (no need for job interviews).

Used in a sentence:

Sarah is a trustafarian. It's totally evidenced by the combination of her brand new car and nice digs with her "earthy" clothes and dreadlocks.

Spoiled rich kids that look like hippies but drive brand new Audis. They are all over Boulder.

[–]buriedInPixels 4 points5 points ago

Better than spoiled white kids that dress and talk like gangsters. Much better.

[–]MarkerBear -1 points0 points ago

smellier, though, I bet

[–]SelectaRx -2 points-1 points ago

I haven't encountered one for years and just reading that angered me. Fuck, I hate them so much.

[–]Duramax159 0 points1 point ago

Boulder is larger than just the CU campus...

[–]rooslayswiss 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like every place I've ever been.

[–]SCOTTGIANT 0 points1 point ago

Yeah we have a joke here in Colorado.. Boulder: 40 square miles surrounded by reality.

[–]cotrees 1 point2 points ago

yea, don't downvote this guy, there is a lot about Boulder I love but he's kinda spot on, plus trustafarians is one of my favorite words and it didn't make any sense to me, nor had I really heard it, until I lived in Boulder

[–]APJansekok 1 point2 points ago

Try living here.

[–]Jeroknite 0 points1 point ago

No thank you, plz.

[–]deejayskipper 8 points9 points ago

Notice how it was also previously posted to r/PICS, a more appropriate forum no doubt since I wasn't even remotely compelled to say "WTF" when I looked at this ...

[–]Brandongo -3 points-2 points ago

Dude that wild cat could fuck you up. You'd be saying WTF when it's claws are slashing at your chest and it's biting at your neck.

[–]deejayskipper 3 points4 points ago

I'd actually probably just scream incoherently ...

[–]gfdf 3 points4 points ago

would that be considered catabalism?

[–]tehaleks 0 points1 point ago

That explains it. I just made a comment about the puma caught at Kullerstrand about 10 years ago (but I said it was a preschool - apparently elementary)

[–]happycrabeatsthefish 0 points1 point ago

So do we all get a turn reposting this? I feel like I see it once a week.

[–]NoonelikesRickAstley -1 points0 points ago

[–]alecnunez93 49 points50 points ago

Remind me what /r/wtf is about please.

[–]hi_imryan 15 points16 points ago

FUCKING CATS.

[–]rhunex 7 points8 points ago

[–]NeonMan 5 points6 points ago

Why did I click here...

[–]rhunex 17 points18 points ago

Because you're fearless. You're an adventurer. One who wants to know what's behind the veil.

And I'm guessing, like me, you blindly click every link you find on reddit.

[–]BigTuna_103 0 points1 point ago

It's about posting stupid shit that has nothing to do with /r/wtf. It used to be wtf? Now it's wtf!

[–]mythernal 16 points17 points ago

What the fuck are you feeding the domestic cat? It's nearly as big as the cougar!

[–]jfierce 6 points7 points ago

It's a Maine coon cat.

[–]skihard 14 points15 points ago

Cougar: "They bring you food AND clean up your poop?!?"

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 4 points5 points ago

I think this was the

"You're a self-entitled MOTHER FUCKER!" part of the conversation.

The cat, of course: HOLY FUCK BALLS AM I ABOUT TO DIE (fluffy cat's fur doesn't stand like that)

[–]ShinyPichu 0 points1 point ago

My cat's fur stands up like that.

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 0 points1 point ago

Even at the back of the neck? The kind of spacing I'm seeing in the hair seems to indicate excitement of somekind or another.

[–]ShinyPichu 0 points1 point ago

Yes but this cat does seem rather frigid. My cats fur is slightly more relaxed than that but it stands up a tiny bit.

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 0 points1 point ago

I believe frigidity is implied in "HOLY FUCK BALLS AM I ABOUT TO DIE"

[–]ShinyPichu 0 points1 point ago

I dunno, when I look at this picture I see the cat as angry for some reason.

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 1 point2 points ago

I don't think the stance/fur reaction would be too different, to be honest.

However, the cant of the ears is what does it for me. Aggression presents in the way the cougar looks, ears tucked back, etc. The cat's ears allow for a bit of ambiguity, as they aren't typical to an angry feline in my experience.

[–]ShinyPichu 0 points1 point ago

I know, that's what's so odd about it. To me it just feels angry but also frightened.

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 0 points1 point ago

That sounds pretty reasonable when confronted with a larger predator in your territory.

[–]Poniesandstickers 4 points5 points ago

Is that a bear in the background??? If you look closely it looks like there's a bear face to the left of the cougar by the tree.

[–]Poniesandstickers 3 points4 points ago

Never mind. I just looked at at the original post and it's not.

[–]khanfusion 2 points3 points ago

From an old thread about this pic, apparently the house owner chimed in and said that is actually a statuette of a bear they have in their yard.

[–]Blast338 8 points9 points ago

Um....honey where is the gun? No the big one.

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 0 points1 point ago

That's a small cougar, by the by.

Even if the cat is a large breed... Mountain Lions get up to... wiki-fu... 2-3 feet at the shoulder, and about 6 to 8 from tip to tail.

[–]Blast338 0 points1 point ago

We have them around our house. That is why you always keep a shotgun or a 45 sitting by the door.

[–]epicyon 0 points1 point ago

Yes, fucking shoot the fucking beautiful starving creature because your backyard encroaches its home.

[–]Oncocerca 2 points3 points ago

Seriously. I have cousins in India who are living in a subdivision that was once a protected jungle. They then have the nerve to complain about snakes and monkeys in their neighborhood.

[–]Typhun 1 point2 points ago

Shoot them or be mauled. If the cougars were so smart, they'd be building homes and shooting us.

[–]gnovos -1 points0 points ago

How od you know they aren't, eh, smart guy?

[–]Horseshiter 1 point2 points ago

How would you know?

[–]epicyon 1 point2 points ago

Apparently intelligence involves shooting other organisms and living in uneconomical places (often for the sake of a better view - the greenery is nice, eh?).

[–]epicyon -3 points-2 points ago

Hey, that sort of describes what European settlers did to Native Americans (building homes and shooting them)...but we're talking about an animal here (albeit one that is similarly endangered). Anyways...

Regardless of the cougar's aptitude, humans should be smart enough to coexist with other species without demanding their extermination. Just because people want to live within nature does not give them the right to eradicate it when it becomes inconvenient. Shoot it with tranquilizer, establish sanctuaries for the cats -they need space, or move to a cougar-free area and you won't be mauled.

[–]randomninja96 3 points4 points ago

One of those, shitshitshitshitshitshitshit moments.

[–]docod44 8 points9 points ago

The biggest WTF is how this got to the front page.

[–]Reformed_journalist 3 points4 points ago

I think I like it here in the city where our cougars smell like perfume and tequila thank you very much.

[–]hippie_hunter 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, if you see a fucking mountain lion in your back yard it's time to shoot it. They may look small but they're not a joke.

[–]daavq 0 points1 point ago

Plus that one is clearly starving so it is sick or injured. Very dangerous

[–]iownthesky22 1 point2 points ago

Or maybe it's ACTUALLY just time to stay inside for a while, recall you're not a dumbass that leaves food/trash/pets outside, call wildlife officers, remember what the word 'endangered' means, and do some research before you move into an area that has predators you can't outrun.

[–]pissdotpoor 3 points4 points ago

If that glass wasn't there I have a feeling it would be some pussy on pussy action that for the first time wouldn't end in a great way.

[–]oh_the_places 1 point2 points ago

Beautiful deck and swing!

[–]JesterSentinel 1 point2 points ago

Wish you could take carnival home with you? Trying Bozo Joe's Home Installation.

[–]JimDandy63 0 points1 point ago

Awesome!!

[–]Allenzilla 0 points1 point ago

Open that door they wanna play!

[–]mastigia -1 points0 points ago

My cat would just try to play with the cougar. I don't know if she is retarded or just the sweetest thing in the world.

[–]nitrosmomma88 -1 points0 points ago

My cat would be growling and yowling while looking at me to let him loose on the thing. He is fearless, he attacks my uncles pit bull every time he sees her, I'm just lucky she's terrified of the cat and is a giant baby.

[–]kevinpatrickdoyle 0 points1 point ago

Weird, I frequented the forums associated with that domain name as a young man.

[–]bigchrisv69 -1 points0 points ago

Is that a bear's head sticking out by the tree?

[–]dcknight93 0 points1 point ago

"If this invisible barrier wasn't there I'd come out on that deck and fuck you up, bitch!"

[–]breakinthehymen 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else see that bear head poking out the side of the door there?

[–]cotrees 0 points1 point ago

COLORADOOOOO

[–]bac0n 0 points1 point ago

I remember seeing this originally. I never noticed that it seems to be favoring its rear left leg. Too bad it most likely never survived a week or two after this picture was taken.

[–]mcqueeb 0 points1 point ago

If you just open the door a crack and give the cougar a few squirts from a water bottle, he'll learn who's boss and just mosey off.

[–]mickeythesquid 1 point2 points ago

Bubbles finally got his dream home with Steve French.

[–]ZeGermans750 1 point2 points ago

I, too, trust a single pane of glass to keep a starving mountain lion away from a meal.

[–]TouchTheSky420 0 points1 point ago

Holy cannoli, where do you live?

[–]mrleeho 1 point2 points ago

That's a big ass house cat

[–]birddancer 0 points1 point ago

Great. Now you have to move.

[–]neksys 1 point2 points ago

Bubbles: He's just a big kitty, boys! I can deal with this, I know kitties!

[–]zishudj 1 point2 points ago

I guess they just, scissor or something.

[–]-status- 0 points1 point ago

Don't think for one second that the glass is protecting you from that hell-cat.

[–]mattylite 0 points1 point ago

Wait... How does that cat know the mountain lion isn't gonna fuck it up?

[–]harry_balsonia 0 points1 point ago

It seems like every other person in here is a whiny faggotwat who has encountered such a wide array of life experiences that nothing is wtf worthy anymore in their eyes. Did you people really look at this picture and think, "Meh, just a puma on the deck. That shit happened to me 4x last week. ERRONEOUS POST! DIE FAGGOT OP!!1!11!"

Just because a picture wasn't taken at a Tijuana donkey show with Christopher Walken and a strung out Pikachu shooting dice while a pirate and a ninja thumb wrestle with one hand and simultaneously climax with the other does not mean a picture is unworthy of r/wtf.

[–]bvarner28 0 points1 point ago

My money's on house cat that fucker has something to prove and defend

[–]PastyNoob -1 points0 points ago

OMG fucking animals! i cannot control myself with the amount of wtf in this post. this is horrifying! where is the NSFW/NSFL tag? I fucking threw up when i saw this, i'd hate to think how some of the weaker minded folks around here went through when they saw this picture of two animals! I MEAN HOLY FUCKING FUCKING SHITBALLS, 2 GODDAM ANIMALS!

[–]iamasociopath22 1 point2 points ago

That cat is almost as big as the cougar, how the hell?

[–]newschannel3 0 points1 point ago

I feel bad for the mountain lion. I would feed him my cat so he could survive.

[–]kyle2143 0 points1 point ago

This absolutely does not belong on /r/wtf, there are many posts with people complaining about this, but still. Nothing about this made me say "What the Fuck" and that's the logic that most people find to post something here. Like if you see something that looks dumb or gross you think to yourself, "What the Fuck". But this? It is literally just a picture of a cougar or mountain lion or something standing on someone's porch looking at a cat.

[–]LeslieVernon 1 point2 points ago

Are you aware that your cat is fucking huge?

[–]mortalwombat7 0 points1 point ago

I really like how the cat is just not backing down.

[–]cyraxxx 0 points1 point ago

I enjoy cats.

[–]Blechacz 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who can see a bear in the picture, half way down the left side of the window?

[–]iownthesky22 0 points1 point ago

Big cats would be even cooler if they did the puff tail-arched back-crab dance thing house cats do when they're scared

[–]jp_lolo 0 points1 point ago

whew. that small cat puts way too much trust in that glass door.

[–]New_World_Odor 1 point2 points ago

Question: what does a person do when in this situation? (considering the malnourishment of the lion)

[–]slowy 0 points1 point ago

Call wildlife officials. It's an endangered animal and they will do their best to find, capture, and if possible, rehabilitate it.

[–]blarch -1 points0 points ago

What the fuck is this doing in r/WTF?

[–]alecnunez93 0 points1 point ago

maybe the fact that that picture is in /r/WTF is, precisely, WTF.

[–]Whos_that_guy 2 points3 points ago

You're watching football in the living room on a Sunday afternoon, Half time comes so you decide to walk to the kitchen to make a sandwich and grab a beer. After preparing said sandwich, you proceed back to the living room, while walking back to the living room you notice your cat staring at a much larger/deadlier version of itself..

The first thing you say is "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

I hope I've answered your question

[–]2Girls_1_7Up 4 points5 points ago

I think you just answered your own question

[–]goodgoodvibes 0 points1 point ago

Would you prefer it to be in r/aww?
