Thursday – A Little Personal – Puma and Panther Showdown

” The puma wanders into the territory of the panther.”

“The panther strikes the famous poisonous black frog pose.”

“The puma is not fooled. She calls out the panther for a winner-take-all cage match.”

“The panther gets low to the road in preparation for the fatal strike.”

“The puma matches the move and keeps the panther at bay.”

“The panther slowly prepares for a counter move that will surprise the puma.”

“The puma is caught off guard by the swift maneuver of the panther. It’s too bad there is an audience to see this.”

“The panther stikes while the iron is hot and adds the famous stink-eye insult for good measure.”

“The puma can’t help but laugh at the stink-eye comment.”

“The panther keeps the puma pinned using its rear legs.”

“The puma is up and ready to rumble. Throws the your mother wears combat boots insult at the panther.”

“The panther laughs off the insult and calls the puma Porkey.”

“The puma warns the panther that body shaming is not how to survive.”

“The panther picks up the pace and asks how many Frenchies does it take to screw in a light bulb?”

“None, the puma answers. We get the uprights to do it.” Now you die.”

“The panther struggles to free herself from the jaws of the warthog.”

“The puma doubles down on the pressure and orders the panther to take back the hog insults.”

“The panther declares she would rather die than take back her comments.”

“Hey, you two. You are getting too rough.”

“The puma tells the panther that they were saved by Dad.”

“The panther looks at Dad as if to say,’ I had her. Why did you interrupt?'”

“You two need a nap.”

“The puma agrees and invites the panther for 40 winks.”

“The panther gladly accepts and reminds the puma that there will be another day.”

“The puma chuckles.”

  6. Those two are truly having a good battle. I’d never heard of the poisonous frog pose before but maybe Wrestle Mania should adopt it. You must be having a lot of fun with the panther and the puma (or is it wart hog?)

  7. It’s cool to see them sparring. To me, they don’t hate each other, are just practicing moves, trying to improve their skill level.

    1. I think you are correct. They do get a little wound up at times. but a “Knock it off,” tends to settle things. Thanks, Tim.

  15. If I didn’t know better, I’d be worried that somebody could get hurt in such an epic battle! Instead, it looks like the two sisters were merely expending excess energy so they could get Dad’s attention and then take a nap!

    Solid move with the stink eye. Haha! At least there were no chairs involved like “professional wrestling.” All we need now is the return “Loser Leaves Town” rematch. 😊
