Oregon woman finds mountain lion in her home, says she used telepathic images to get it to leave
Lauren Taylor, of Ashland, Ore., came home Sunday, July 8, to find an intruding mountain lion taking a snooze behind the sofa in her living room.
"This is wild," Taylor wrote in a Facebook post. "There's a mountain lion in our living room."
Sure enough, in multiple photographs and videos, the mountain lion can be seen taking a late-night snooze on Taylor’s living room floor behind the couch. The photos, which many appear to be taken of the cat from up close, raise the question of why Taylor took the potentially dangerous risk of getting too close to a wild animal.

I tried to read the article, but got sick of trying to read it through all the pop up ads. Why on earth did she leave her door open, which allowed the mountain lion to come in?!?

Well for one, this women is clearly batshit insane. Why you expect rational behavior out of her I do not know.

R3, I do, too. She wanted to be sure the cat wasn't hurt, and was able to leave peacefully. I'm so glad she didn't call an animal control officer, or the cat probably wouldn't have survived.

Did she have a super religious mother who was extremely psychotic and later went to prom only to get publicly humiliated after being crowned Prom Queen?

The cat sensed the nice frau was off her rockers and felt it was better to leave.
Bet her love life is much the same.

Other reports state that the mountain lion napped behind the couch for SIX HOURS.

Very cute, cuddly mountain lion. Glad that all are safe and sound, including the big cat, and that she used her own methods to get it out of the house.

It’s a pity they can kill a person (not that they do often or without provocation) because they look like big, sweet cats and I, being a moron, would want to cuddle it.

I think I would have left the door wide open and vacated the house for a couple of days, give it a chance to leave on its own. It's not like it would have wanted to stick around permanently (most likely).

How did she “raise her frequency”?
I’d love to see a video of this woman “feline-speak eye blinking”.

Does all this frequency talk refer to dominance? Like... when she raised her frequency she asserted dominance over the cat?

I get the blinking thing, it’s a sign of affection or pleasure in felines. Anyone who has a cat knows the slow blink body language.

The cat probably never had such a soft, luxurious bed to nap on, and will spend the rest of its life looking for more.

Mountain lion could have been pregnant and seeking temporary shelter.
All animals have an extraordinarily acute sense of smell. The mountain lion probably smelled that the woman had been around a lot of other animals and therefore did not try and harm her. This is a scientifically proven fact.

[quote] In a video taken by the woman, you can hear her banging on a drum to a steady beat from a safe, elevated position inside her home.
This might actually be a smart strategy. Create repetitive banging sounds to annoy an animal enough to leave.

Why would she assume he couldn't easily get to an elevated position in her house? Mountain lions can climb anything. That's not safe unless she was sitting behind glass or metal bars.
And this is hilarious. Straight out of a episode of Portlandia. (Only in the show, for comedic effect, she would have been chased out of her own house):

The cat may have decided she was a friend. If she often left the door open, it may have gone in at other times.
I used to have a friend who left her door wide open all the time...any kind of critter could have walked in and once she got angry because a raccoon came in. Drunk.

Regarding the feline slow-blink body language thing...
Once I was hiking alone, and I saw a wild bobcat sitting a few feet from the trail. I stopped and looked at it, and it looked back, and I did the slow blink that's a sign of affection and trust among domestic cats. The bobcat sat quietly and gave me a slow blink back! So we both sat still, enjoying the quiet afternoon, blinking at each other in cat fashion, until some other damn humans came along and spoiled the moment.
So yes, it's possible that the blinking thing worked to assure the mountain lion that this human was friendly, and no threat. Which is great, if the lion isn't hungry.

Just do your Rachel Maddow voice:
[quote]Nighttime in the Santa Cruz mountains. A mountain lion sprawls on the forest floor, happily noshing on a freshly killed deer. The wind in the trees is the only sound, the moon the only illumination.
[quote]Then political commentator Rachel Maddow's voice fills the clearing: “Last Friday, three days after Bobby Jindal quit …" The lion lifts its head, and its eyes, glowing in the scant light, look right toward a hidden camera. Then the creature turns tail and flees. It's gone before Maddow even finishes her sentence.
