Black bear tries to get into condo through cat door

SCHWEITZER MOUNTAIN, Idaho – An Idaho man got the surprise of his life when a bear stuck its head through a cat door at this condo on Thursday night.

Doug Harder said this is not his first run in with a bear. He said a bear and two cubs climbed up the side of his condo onto his second floor deck at the end of May to eat birdseed.

He got another surprise visit when he went on vacation last week. He returned to his home only to find a bear yearling had broken into his condo.

Harder said the bears broke in through a second story door, ate food and defecated on his carpet. In an effort to keep the bear away, Harder said he closed the door but the bear came back Thursday morning and Thursday night, and that's when he snapped the pictures of it poking its head through the cat door.
