butchlocyou're the dummy
Yup that's right, you're dumb and i'
m smart. While leo may be the king, I'm the prince. Let me introduce myself, - they call me mr. spots.
You have come from far away, in a big noisy contraption that flys like the vulture. I've seen you coming, i've sensed you coming, and i'm ready.
You think you're so smart, sitting in the wheeled thing. shooting my impala and hanging them from trees. Ha, I know about all that.
You travel on 2 legs like the babos, Going down the dry riverbeds looking for where i've been. But i'm not there. Ha i'm to smart for you.
I can smell the meat hanging from the tree, and I will eat it, but only on my terms. You will not be there, only me.
That black thing that leads your path is pretty smart, and the white thing following is also, but, the third thing - he smells like after shave. I know that odor, my mother taught me about it.
My father was very old. So old that he could not kill for himself anymore. He fell to that lound sound when he was eating the meat from the tree. I watched and learned. I'm to smart for the likes of you.
You have hung meat from many trees all over my territory. I can smell it, and i watch you. Yesterday you came by my cave on the hill. I could see 6 of your beings in the wheeled thing. YOu came back soon, but there were only 4 then. I can count, I am smart. you think that in only a half a moon you can catch me. Think again. I'm smarter than you. It will take many half moons before you can catch sight of me.
Every day you come and every day i watch. You make loud noises and my impala fall dead. I don't like the noise, I don't like your smell or your looks and i don't like you. Last night i almost made a mistake. I smelled the meat, but on the way to it i found a young bushbuck. He provided my dinner, you didn't.
For all you efforts you should be commended, but I'm smarter than you, for i'm the prince, I', mr spots , I'm the worlds most beautiful cat, i'm the worlds most cunning, the worlds smartest. and to top it all I'm smarter than you

NakihunterGreat writing! You could also add "the most dangerous" according to Jim Corbett and JA Hunter.

FishN4EyesYou're right. You're smart and I'm a dumbass but I'm coming for you in June with my "Rock Star" PH.
He's not nearly as dumb as me! (Hopefully!)

bwana cecilIf you're talking about Thierry Labat, he's a CHOP STAR!
Just kidding of course.
If & when I go after Mr. Spots, it'll be with Legend Labat.

Bwana NderoboLove it! I've seen exactly one leopard, who decided to come into our hyena bait, and of which my PH informed me that I may never see his like again. No leopard tag, nor enough funds, and I just had to watch him. To say that I will never, ever forget him is an understatement...
