   Mountain lion tries to impress pet cat in real-life home invasion thriller, fails

Since today is Brave Cats Day (unofficially so, obviously), here’s another amazing video to go with the theme: a home cat got to star in its very own home invasion thriller when it was faced with a mountain lion, but it didn’t budge.

Footage of the strange encounter was captured by comedian Tom Mabe and posted on his YouTube channel MabeInAmerica. Despite reports that the scene was his home in Kentucky, he says he and his family were actually visiting friends outside of Boulder.

You can see the video below. It starts with the mountain lion wandering through the back yard and heading straight for the window. One of the two cats inside the house is standing at the window and refuses to back down even though the mountain lion keeps pawing at it, as if to swat it away.

After several attempts, either because it was intimidated by the fearless cat or because it saw movement inside (but most likely the latter), the mountain lion leaves.

While the video is all kinds of awesome, especially if you’re a cat-person at heart, perhaps the best part about it comes when Tom’s wife asks him where the kids are. “They’re out back,” he answers nonchalantly, scaring her.

He was obviously joking.
