"I was making breakfast and all of a sudden … I thought it was a dog because I saw its legs first, but it was a puma. A puma, a puma like those you see in the zoo,' said Amalin Haddad from the Lo Curro area of Santiago, Chile to Sky News. The 2-year-old cougar did not attack her or anyone else, and the footage that was taken made it clear that she was mostly interested in chewing on a window blind.

Ms. Haddad's son, who was still sleeping at the time, told reporters: "I was sleeping when all of a sudden I heard screams, 'It's a puma!' I came down and we really had a puma locked in the kitchen." And the neighbor, who saw all the commotion, explained what happened: "The people from SAG [agricultural service] shot it with three darts so it would sleep so they could take it out. But I think he took them out, so it did not work. And that is why it has taken so long to get it out."

At the end, the puma was successfully sedated and removed from this house. Afterward, it was taken to the national zoo where it was treated for minor injuries, and although we don't know exactly what happened after that, since we couldn't find an update to the story anywhere, we choose to believe that this beautiful feline was released back into the wild, where it belonged. And possibly given some extra blinds to play with as a parting gift.
