In reply to the discussion: Your Sunday LOLcats (dial-up warning) Kitty Pit Edition [View all]Ocelot II

"I would back up and it would creep forward, so I'd stop. Eventually it sort of crouched down, like part way," Kopestonsky told 9News, recounting the experience. "So, I start backing up down the mountain, which was really steep. And then it got up and walked toward me. At the closest point, it was eight feet away."
Kopestonsky says she isn't sure why she started singing opera, exactly, but she put her heart into it and sang "really loud."

Do the Commendatore from "Don Giovanni." That scares everybody, maybe even mountain lions.
