My Feverish Cougar Fears

https://merangue.com/dlmlprto22 When we lived in Boulder a few years ago, we were very lucky to rent an inexpensive rickety house perched in the foothills. We felt like we were living in a huge treehouse. The views were awesome and the space was luxurious compared to our Brooklyn shoebox.

Bears feasted out of our trash cans, raccoons scampered across the roof during the wee hours, and field mice sought refuge in the winter. To a city slicker, it was like living on the set of Grizzly Adams meets Little House in the Prairie.

Now that we are safely returned to the urban wilds of NYC, we are fortunate to have friends that have a country spread in a rural stretch of Connecticut, where we sometimes retreat to on weekends. The kids roam without fear of being run over by renegade pizza delivery guys on bikes going the wrong way. It’s blissful.

    A fed bear is a dead bear.  See: http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/files/openspace/pdf_brochures/be_aware_bears.pdf
    I agree that raccoons are obnoxious, even if cute looking.  But mice?  Teeny field mice?  We’re talking sweet country mice here, not evil big city rats.  Again, food control is the solution.   And closing entrances to the attic and such.  All they are looking for is a warm place to spend the winter and something to eat.  Live trapping is an option.  I’ve found mice to be cooperative, but raccoons raise quite a fuss.
    For mountain lions: Children may need a little extra supervision (and in some places not take the lead on trails) but in general, having the little noise generators along and close by is quite helpful.  Remembering to announce your presence when alone on the trail is a bit harder.
    In Boulder, humans are widely considered guardians to their pets, (not owners).  Thus,  extrapolating to wildlife, just imagine the psychic impact of all this negative behavior towards wildlife on your shoulders if you don’t improve.
    Or, next time, you come for a stay, you could just pick a different sort of Colorado town, and open carry your gun.
    Are you implying that you think NYC is safer?

    The Boulder mice were pretty clever, though. Or I was inept at catching them.

    How long can it be until the mountain lions find out?
