This Colorado Mountain Lion Story Is Probably FAKE!

No matter the size or where they live on planet Earth, a cat is a cat is a cat.

They are all the same when it comes to their cat-like catness.

In Colorado Springs, Colorado, a mountain lion broke into a pet store and found the catnip aisle.

HOLD ON! Is this story true? It's all over Facebook, but it has not been reported by any local news outlets.

Let's read on anyway.

Imagine the surprise of workers and shoppers when they opened the store.

Security footage revealed a mountain lion had slipped in overnight, padding silently through the aisles like it owned the place.

I'd say it owned the place. Would you argue with him?

It ignored the dog food, skipped past the bird seed, and made a beeline straight for one section: cat toys.

After sniffing around, the big cat stopped at the catnip shelf, pawed a bag down, ripped it open, and immediately flopped onto the floor.

Rolling back and forth, it rubbed its face and paws in the catnip, completely intoxicated by its new discovery.

When employees unlocked the doors, they were stunned to find the “customer” sprawled out in the toy aisle, surrounded by shredded bags of catnip.

Wildlife officers carefully coaxed the lion outside before relocating it back into the nearby hills.

Experts explained that while mountain lions aren’t known for reacting to catnip like housecats, curiosity and the strong scent could have triggered their playful behavior.

When asked about the situation, the store owner just smirked: “Colorado’s known for its plants making folks feel good, guess now we know the animals are into it too.”

We could say that this cat is just another hippy pothead in Colorado. You be the judge of that.
