A farmer said he first knew something was wrong when his barn cat stopped coming home for milk. The cat had followed the same routine for years, but suddenly he was hunting at strange hours and slipping into the same patch of woods over and over. When the farmer checked his trail cameras, he saw the reason. His cat was carrying mice to a thin, injured mountain lion that looked too weak to hunt on its own. Wildlife officers were called, and the mountain lion was safely taken in for treatment. Local college animal behavior experts later weighed in, saying the footage was extremely unusual because the cat appeared to return repeatedly, keep a careful distance, and still leave food close enough for the mountain lion to eat. One professor said, “That kind of repeated behavior is hard to ignore. It makes you wonder how much animals notice when another animal is struggling.”
