BISMARCK, N.D. - Authorities say a rural western North Dakota man shot and killed a 38-pound mountain lion kitten that had wandered into this home.
Chief game warden Robert Timian says the homeowner discovered the mountain lion on his couch after returning to his farmstead northwest of Grassy Butte on Wednesday. The man grabbed a .22-caliber pistol near his doorway and shot the animal.
Timian says the homeowner left his garage door open during the day, and the door from the garage to the house was open when he returned. The lion had killed four domestic cats. Timian says it's possible it was attracted by the cat scent.
Timian says it's a very unusual situation. He says the homeowner wasn't likely in any danger, but was "well within his rights" to kill it.

I'm not going to call a 38 lb cat a "kitten". I would say they are done being "kittens" when they start hunting on their own.

Never shot a lion on my couch. However, I do remember a guy who shot an elephant in his pajamas.
