Big kitty ping!

Shouldn’t he be heading south to bag a babe?

I’ve heard that there are Black Panthers (feline, not the political commies) in south Texas that came up from Mexico..
Would love to see a pic of one of those.

Large panther like black cats have been spotted intermittently in Michigan for over 20 years. no one has ever caught one though.
