That is a lot of cat! http://komonews.com/news/local/197-pound-cougar-captured-by-state-biologists-near-chewelah SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Washington state wildlife biologists have caught and tagged a 197-pound (89-kilogram) cougar. The Spokesman-Review reports that the biologists tagged the massive cat on Monday north of Chewelah. State carnivore research scientist Brian Kertson called the cat a monster. He said it's so muscular that the first tranquilizer dart he shot at it popped out as the cat flexed. Kertson says it's the largest cougar caught in Washington state - as far as he knows.

When your housecat is zonked in front of the fireplace, paws and tail twitching, this is the fantasy that they are dreaming of - and you are the 4lb mouse they are playing with.

Looks like his nose was dinged up and healed over. He's probably won more fights than he lost over the years though!

Yea, weird article. Cat was treed by hounds after only 10 minutes of chase. Way too much info for trophy hunters in my opinion. Tom
