Confusing a starlink launch for an alien invasion. Butthurt feelings regarding the number restaurants in Avon. Requesting guidance on where to find cougars in Hartford. Mountain lion (not to be confused with cougar) sightings.

I used to think it was a bunch of idiots seeing a bobcat for the first time and thinking it’s a mountain lion.

And then I saw the fucking king of the jungle for myself. They’re around.

From a large cat husbandry perspective, that’s correct. The r/CT cougars being sought in Hartford, however, are of the monied, un-husbanded variety, and unlike puma/mountain lion/cougars, these cougars live in stately homes, not burrows in the woods. It was suggested that perhaps Greenwich or Westport could be better territory for hunting the r/CT cougar.
