If there is a mountain lion in the crawl space underneath your house, how do you get rid of it? Well, it turns out your best plan is to leave it the hell alone and it will leave during the night, because it doesn't want to be there just as much as you don't want it to be there.
Firefighters, animal control and the police department tried all day the persuade the beast out, with no success whatever. They used sticks, poles (which looked pretty much like sticks to me), and even air-powered cannons firing tennis balls. The mountain lion was unimpressed and stayed right where it was. They were wise enough that no one volunteered to go in and get it; there being no one willing to personally confront the visibly pissed off mountain lion.
They finally gave up and everybody went home. When they came back the next morning to try again, the mauntain lion was gone.
It's a cat. They like enclosed spaces and privacy. And they will come and go if you leave them alone. And get pissed off if you mess with them. Aren't any one of these people cat owners? duh....
