Here kitty, kitty.

It’s like living in an episode of When Animals Attack. On August 5 in New Castle, a man shot and killed a mountain lion he said was on his trail just a day after another of the critters got into a home in Idledale and snacked on the family Labrador.

What have we done to turn nature against us? Plenty of things, probably — but we can fight back.
