No one seems to have told this little house cat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnmxg4h_Mio) that mountain lions are fierce predators known for snacking on small pets unlucky enough to cross their path.
Certainly, it helped that there was a glass door between the two felines. But the house cat seems thoroughly unimpressed by the cougar as it paws at the door, even letting out a couple of meows.
The big cat, perhaps thinking of a lunch just out of reach, responds with an angry hiss so close that it fogs up the glass.
The footage was shot by comic/prankster Tom Mabe (http://tommabe.com/) at a friend's house near Boulder, Colorado, he wrote on YouTube. Being a prankster, he couldn't help but pull one over on his wife when she asked about the kids.
Check it out in the clip above -- and watch for the second cat, who was smart enough to keep its distance. Glass or no glass, Cat Number Two seems to know what's out there.
Mabe has a reputation as a prankster so there's always a chance the clip is him up to his old tricks. But Mabe's also a joker with a heart of gold. Along with scaring the pants off people with a Halloween grim reaper stunt (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2013/10/24/grim-reaper-prank-video_n_4157435.html) and an escaped lion hoax that even fooled the local news (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2013/04/26/escaped-lion-at-the-park-prank-tom-mabe-video_n_3163054.html), he has also "pranked" a homeless man by giving him an apartment (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/04/03/prank-it-fwd-tom-mabe_n_6987776.html) and an animal shelter by providing spa treatments for the dogs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqyikTegYww). -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
