Cougar Domestication Project.

There are many problems with house cats, they're too small to cuddle, they can't take down fully grown deer, they're dangerous to local birds.

Mountain Lions solve all these problems, we just have to get them to tolerate human habitats and not eat children until we can have a population of semi-feral mountain lions that live with us the way house cats do.
