CASPER, Wyo. -- A police officer didn't think much of a call to shoo off
a bothersome "kitty cat" at a Casper home on Monday. But after the
officer arrived at the home, he ran for cover after seeing a male
mountain lion weighing 80 to 90 pounds.

Beverly Hood said she was inside when she first saw the mountain lion
lying on her porch Monday. Hood said the lion hissed at her, but she
wasn't scared.

She called 911, animal control and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department
and reported that she had a bothersome "big cat." A dispatcher told
Officer Mike Ableman that it was a house cat.

A game warden tranquilized the mountain lion and the animal was relocated.
