PALMETTO, FL - A Florida homeowner was left tentatively checking every inch of her property Sunday after returning home to find a six-foot alligator in one of her bedrooms, according to local broadcaster Bay News 9. Alexis Dunbar recalled the moment she came face to face with the most unwelcome of visitors, saying, "I look to the right, and there's an alligator in my guest bedroom." The deadly animal found its way from a nearby pond into the empty house in Palmetto, Fla., through a doggie door and left its mark Saturday, with the floors covered in blood. Dunbar managed to get out but was left certain that the gator devoured one of her beloved pets. "I thought my cat was eaten," she said. "There was blood everywhere." Fortunately, the cats were later safely recovered, and it was determined that the blood was seeping from the gator.
You have to move when this happens, right? I mean, doggy door or no doggy door, I cannot possibly live in a dwelling that alligators can easily access. The thought scares the shit out of me. Like what if this lady was just getting up for a midnight piss and stumbled upon this alligator chilling out in her bathtub? Shit would not have ended so peacefully, you can believe that.
The cynnical side of me thinks too bad it didn't really eat the cat, would have been one less crazy cat lady, right? At least at that point she could have broke down and got the dog that she really wanted anyway. That had to be what she was going for when she cut a doggy door in her house for her cat. Cats should be either outdoor or indoor, not both. Roaming free fending for themselves killing small varmint or ruling the roost indoors annoying the shit out of non-cat people who may be visiting. Can't have it both ways though. So yea, secretly, deep inside, I'm sure this lady was a bit upset when Whiskers showed up later that night and decided to sleep right on top of her head in his claimed territory.
