The article does nothing to refute what I said.

I live in the area where this happened. I am aware attacks are not frequent, but they keep developing and building homes further out into the hills and forests here. A day or two prior to this attack, there was a different mountain lion walking around another community (Buckley, I think) that has pushed outwards a bit more just like Fall City/Snoqualmie. Buckley/Enumclaw is just a bit south, but similarly pushing into the hills with their sprawl.

Mostly what happens is that we have “sightings” or see the cats stalking, but no attack. More of that will happen because we are pushing outwards further into the forests. It isn’t rocket surgery. Our home is much further west “in town” but still well forested, so we see bobcats, bears, deer/elk and of course coyotes are everywhere. We do not let our pets remain outdoors.

I am sad they shot the cat and I am sad we put the cat in that situation.
