Another Cat Thread-this time BIG CATS!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

Imagine that you are a South African bush pilot. You fly in some critical medical supplies, enjoy a quick lunch at the hospital. It's a stifling 100 degrees in the shade and you're eager to get back up to the cool, high blue yonder.

On the way back to your plane, you discover that the only bit of shade within a mile has become very popular...
You start calculating the distance to the plane door...and wonder, do I feel lucky today?

1. I've never ...

2. You realize you are about to BECOME lunch, instead.

Yikes...I'd just wait for them to leave. :D

3. Brilliant!!!

I think I'd feel just lucky enough that I saw a lion pride up close and personal like this even once in my life.

Forget worrying about getting back to the plane.

5. Great photo! All you gotta do is wait it out---the shade's eventually

going to move away and they'll seek it elsewhere!

6. Scary.

Seeing one young wild mountain lion was enough for me...

11. Sweet! you didn't wanna leave right away, anyway now, didja?

12. So cats and lions ARE related!

The pilot should put a giant newspaper on the ground a safe distance from the plane and make like he's about to start reading it. In no time flat, it will be covered with lions. Guaranteed!

13. what about using bitter apple spray?

The kind you get from the pet store to keep cats away from where they shouldn't scratch. Couldn't you just keep spraying it and they would all run away, right?
