This isn't the kind of kitty we want to invite into our bedrooms

A wild leopard apparently jumped through the window of this man's house (in
Israel) and hopped into bed with his sleeping family. He wrestled it to the
floor and held it there for 20 minutes while he waited for help to arrive!

This made me laugh:

As a nature guide, he said, he was familiar with animals and did his
best to hold down the leopard without harming it. He said he took it
all in stride, "but the kids were excited."

Poor leopard! I hope they gave it a good meal before releasing it into the
wild.

Just so it didn't snack on one of the kids! ;-)

I hope so, too. It sounded like the poor thing was close to starvation.
This didn't sound like an attack -- probably just a desperate attempt for
some shelter. At the same time, *I* would be in a panic if a leopard jumped
onto my bed! So would my *much smaller* furry friends.

Oh, yes! It would panic anybody!

This part made *me* laugh:

"Du Mosch's pet cat was in the bed with him at the time, along with his
young daughter who had been frightened by a mosquito in her own room."

She crawls in with daddy because she's afraid of a mosquito, and look
what shows up there!

Poor thing. I also hope they give it some food before letting it go.
He/she is beautiful!

Yeah, but you could think of it this way: She sure picked a safe place
because her dad isn't even cowed by a puma, let alone a mosquito.

This morning's news report said the leopard was sick and it is believed it
was trying to get to the pet cat that was on the bed. Fortunately, the
leopard did not succeed. Also fortunately, the leopard is being cared for
and will be released in a more "appropriate" area.
