A California family encountered an unexpected backyard guest Monday morning when what they assumed to be a cat - chased up a tree by their dog - actually turned out to be a young mountain lion.
The Tustin Police Department recounted the startling encounter in a social media post. "One Tustin family was in for quite the shock when they let their dog out in the morning and it chased a cat up a tree. When they looked a little closer, this wasn't just any cat, but a California Mountain Lion."
