Mountain lions don’t tend to scavenge human food, they prefer to kill their prey (deer, raccoons, porcupines, rodents, etc). It’s unlikely that he ate human food/garbage. Kidney disease is common in older cats. I suspect that’s what P-22 had – degenerative disease and not infectious or toxic.

I wonder if he ate some of the dropped or left around human arrays of foods that added to his liver and kidney disease…. A wonderful chance to learn more how to get along with life instead of the array of alternatives.
