A mountain lion sleeping on your neighbor's patio table is a good reason to call 911. So Beverly Bradham of Laguna Beach, Calif., did the right thing, KABC-TV reported Tuesday.

Only this lion wasn't going to wake up. Ever. It was stuffed long ago by a taxidermist. Animal Control arrived on the scene to assure a panicked Bradham that the big cat was no more interested in napping or eating than a Hello Kitty doll.

It was all a prank intended to scare another neighbor, but Bradham spotted the lion first.
