Oh look, they rescued an abandoned baby mountain lion! (somewhere near Agoura). Now being cared for at the Oakland Zoo.

"...CDFW and Partners Find Orphaned Mountain Lion Kitten Following Coordinated Monitoring Effort.

LOS ANGELES — The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), in partnership with the National Park Service (NPS) and the Los Angeles Zoo, has intervened on an orphaned mountain lion kitten in Southern California following a coordinated, science-based monitoring effort.

The approximately 22-day-old kitten, identified as P-131, was detected through ongoing tracking of his collared mother (P-129) as part of long-term research led by the National Park Service.

a cold-hearted cutie killer without a conscience 😸

@teledyn @ai6yr
Unlike house kittens, this one WILL be able to follow through on its plans to maim and eat people some day 🤗

@me_valentijn @ai6yr

You haven't met my house kittens. We have a scratching post that withstood two prior cats for years. The Ninja Sisters are only just half-a-year old and the top half now looks like someone took a chainsaw to it 😸

@teledyn @me_valentijn @ai6yr
How did you train the kittens to use the scratching post? Did you get rid of all of your other furniture?

@brouhaha @me_valentijn @ai6yr

drugs. Catnip. Probably smells of prior cats, and it's for Kitten Practice. Furniture will be The Real Thing. Soon come, as they say 🤣

@teledyn @brouhaha @ai6yr
Yeah, my mom's cats had scratching posts with ancient catnip behind the scratchy bits. They were never tempted by normal furniture 🤗
@me_valentijn @teledyn @ai6yr At least now there's one less puma in the cravis. The railroad workers should be pleased.

@msbellows @ai6yr 😆 My brother and I won a high school talent show doing that routine. Classic!

@teledyn
Having a "conscience" is a human thing.

@desertsquare

I wouldn't be too sure of that …

@ai6yr

@teledyn
I'm not even 100% sure I exist, or if this is all some sort of script.
@ai6yr
@ai6yr i saw a story on it last night, it’s a very cute, heavily clawed, little critter
