Mountain Lion Breaks Into Pet Store, Gets High on Catnip and Passes Out in Toy Aisle.
In Colorado Springs, a local pet store had an unexpected overnight thief. Security footage revealed a mountain lion padding silently past the dog food and making a beeline straight for the catnip shelf. The big cat ripped open a bag, rolled around in the shavings, and immediately became blissfully intoxicated by its discovery.
When employees arrived, they were stunned to find the massive "customer" sprawled out in the toy aisle. Wildlife officers had to carefully coax the stoned lion outside for relocation. The store owner's take on the incident? "Guess now we know the animals are into Colorado's plants, too."
