Hot Tubbing: All The Cool Cats Are Doing It
Ah, relaxing in the hot tub outdoors on a cold winter day. Why it would be just perfect with a little company. How about your local mountain lion?
DEADWOOD, S.D. - A relaxing soak in a hot tub came to an abrupt end when Marlene Todd came eye to eye with a mountain lion in her backyard.
"I was kind of hidden, sitting with my back up against the side of the tub, and I heard a little rustling sound in the needles right beside me," she said.
Todd said she thought it might have been her house cat until she saw "this big, tan, hairy body" just 4 inches away.
"I didn't realize what it was until it took a leap and jumped up on the side of my hot tub," Todd said.
The cougar was cornered somewhat because the deck stairs blocked its retreat. It would have to go up and over the hot tub.
"It just took a leap. It jumped on the side of the hot tub," Todd said of the Thursday morning encounter. "We locked eyes, and it kicked off of the hot tub and ran away. When it jumped, it flipped my robe into the hot tub."
Authorities think the cat may have been attracted by the warmth of the hot tub. We here at Blue Crab Boulevard, animal experts all, think the answer is much simpler. The cougar was seeing if the soup was ready.

The cat prolly realized that it forgot to bring the carrots, cabbage and seasoning. Then it went back to it’s lair to recover same, only to find it’s main course departed.
Imagine the disappointment.
Then imagine Gordon Ramsay’s reaction…
