Ah, I knew mountain lion wasn’t accurate, but my comment still stands with a sand cat or jungle cat. Not quite as intimidating, but I would still be a little afraid if a raccoon or a badger walked through my door and laid down on my hearth.
Nasty little critters! But then you notice one variety of nasty little critter eats a hell of a lot of mice, which are a much worse scourge… so maybe, like you said, you give it a little space to keep warm in the cold months…
And then before you know it, your descendants are worshipping the furry little manipulators!
Cats are descended from smaller fellows, more like the sand cat and jungle cat than mountain lions.
