Silver of the Day #22: Killer Cat on the Loose!

Look out! There's a Killer Cat on the loose!!

Oh, wait, that's just my new 1 ounce silver coin from the Canadian Wildlife Series. It's ok, folks. Everything is going to be alright.

While a hungry, full-sized cougar might be tempted to attack a human, these silver version are only a danger to your wallet. I was just walking along the street when this coin came rolling out of the LCS and forced me into the store against my will. I told the proprietor that I didn't want any trouble. Then I noticed that he looked scared. The cougar had threatened to eat his family if he didn't find the cougar a nice home.

We both stared at each other, not sure how to protect ourselves from this crazed cat. Then, as if on cue, the cougar jumped me and took my wallet. He thumbed through the bills until he found an appropriate amount of money. He handed it to the store owner who take the money hesitantly. The cougar growled, "Give the man a receipt!" The owner gave me a receipt, and with long claws at my back, I made my way back outside.

I had forgotten that I had parked in the same parking lot which was a good thing because Cougar was keen to see his new home. He had me get in the car and we drove fast all the way back to my house. I thought about not taking him home as I didn't want my wife to get hurt, but the cougar seemed to know I wasn't really going home. After a few more proddings in the ribs, I reluctantly went home to where my wife was waiting.

Fortunately for me, my wife is a smart woman. When she saw me get out of the car with a cougar at my back, she quickly got some things ready inside. When ol' Coug and I came in the front door, she threw a capsule over it and locked that on tight! Cougar tried and tried to get out, but we bought the quality capsules so he was trapped.

I gave my wife a hug and told her what happened. She told me it was ok and that things happen. I'm just glad she was able to trap it before it had a chance to get into my other silver. That could have been disastrous!

All's well that ends well and not only are we safe, but we also got a great new coin out of it. I'm still bummed I lost the money, but can't complain when I get shiny out of the deal. If you have to get mugged, do so by someone who gives you silver in exchange. Old Cougar is going to be locked away for quite some time!

Cougar had kidnapped this lady. We tried to set her free, but it seems they have bonded and didn't want to be separated. We still worry that she's just scared, but she won't leave him, so there's nothing we can do.
