I believe that mountain lions go downwind to stalk their prey. Is there
any chance that the increased wind caused by the windmills has led to an
influx of mountain lions because their prey is easier to stalk? Somebody

Thats completely bogus. Windmills don't attract cats. The wind
from the windmills blows away the smell of predators which causes
the mice and birds to come out. Its the mice and birds that attract
the cats.
