How to Catch a Mountain Lion
an illustrative guide

1. Place a cardboard box where the animal frequently visits.
2. Sit back and wait.
3. A cat is a cat is a cat.

@volkan Wow! What a gorgeous cat.
@volkan I love the alt text, thank you :)

@natureworks You’re very welcome :0

I try to add detailed alt text with my personal commentary whenever I can :)

@volkan
If I fits I sits- or at least play with the box
@Spokeswoman
@volkan Cats and boxes. A winner every time.
@volkan that's adorable!

@christine I had a wallpaper of a Mountain Lion too. They are majestic creatures.

There, I found it!

@volkan You have missed a critical element to success: make sure the box is at least two sizes smaller than the cat.
@alan yeah it needs to offer some challenge :D
@volkan OS X in a box 🖥️
@volkan
LOL,
Yeah but not sure if I should try petting that one.,
@randynose Depends on how dangerously you like living :).
@volkan this mountain lion does not appear to be restrained by the box.
@dhfir when you feel bounded, set your own boundaries :)
@volkan Good thing, there's no need for a litterbox. It would also be supersized.
@volkan No thanks. I ran into a mountain lion 5 weeks ago in the dark while backpacking alone. They huge.
@andrewbriscoe @volkan glad you are still around to tell the tale! 😬

@volkan

Step 2: Get some ‘Nip...

@volkan How big a ball of twine would be needed?🤔🐯
@GFBrynn doesn’t matter, a cat can even play with the tip of a laser pointer.
@volkan a universal truth. Alt text as I can’t get it working yet: leopard snuggled up in a banana box, looking quite regal considering
@cormorant @volkan Truly if I fits, I sits is universal.
@cormorant @volkan big cats acting like housecats is truly one of the greatest types of nature footage

@cormorant @volkan What is it with cats and boxes? I feel like I have to google this behaviour.

Also, this is adorable.

@volkan so cute it looks like he is having fun
@volkan Pretty sure tuna sandwiches also work.
@volkan Aww, look at it's face, that's pure joy.
@volkan Best cat behaviour illustration ever! 😼
@volkan
Almost as simple as catching a kangaroo

@volkan it's a fact of life that if you put a small box on the floor you will find a large cat trying to sit in it
