The big cat was guarding its kill closely, even fending off an eagle that tried to land and get a taste, says Cheryl Thompson.
Nanaimo’s Cheryl Thompson got the surprise of a lifetime when she looked out her window last Sunday morning.
“My husband was woken by our dog barking and growling at 1 a.m. the night before … we didn’t let him out thinking it was just raccoons,” Thompson said.The big cat was picking at the dead deer and guarding it closely, even fending off an eagle that tried to land and get a taste of the meat, she said. “The officers wanted to make sure the cougar would go down our backyard embankment and not jump yard to yard,” Thompson said.The big cat was also reported at the top of a stairway that leads to Blueback Beach off Icarus Drive on Wednesday morning, she said.
“I did post a sign at the Invermere Beach access to warn people of their safety as well as their dogs,” Thompson said. Signs have also been posted at the Blueback Beach access stairs.“We were just in Africa in January and it felt like we were still there,” Thompson said.
