Surprise! Woman Finds Napping Mountain Lion In Her Living Room

An Oregon woman got quite a surprise earlier this month when she returned to her home and found a mountain lion napping behind her couch.

Lauren Taylor observed the large predator for some time as it snoozed in her living room.

Eventually it made it's way out of doors again.

"I am hopeful and confident this cougar will not be back. She was urged telepathically to go straight back through the open field into the hills and never come into town again for her own safety. And she did go straight through the open field, away from homes when she left! ... May she stay safely in the hills to enjoy a long life as a wild and healthy lion," Taylor said in a Facebook post.
