Stray dogs are a common sight in Detroit. What about a big cat?

According to reports, many residents on the city’s northeast side have seen what appears to be an exotic cat, perhaps as tall as four feet, roaming the streets.

Officials with the Michigan Humane Society said they have received several calls about the animal and workers are out in the city, trying to find the feline.

Antwaun Asberry, a 6-foot-5 Detroiter, told the Detroit Free Press the cat’s tail is longer than his arm.

“I was like, what the (expletive) … I don’t know what it is. I just want it gone,” Asberry said. ”He walked like he ain’t scared of nothing… This thing is out here, bro.”

Detroit is returning to a state of nature.

Does or did Detroit have zoo?

The cat sounds like a leopard. Antwaun sounds like a pansy.

Each day just gets more surreal

Because he’s black?

My guess is a big ole housecat or a bobcat.

Is it the size of a Buick?

The big cat probably thought Antwaun looked like dinner.

Thanks RR....."Neighborhood association leader Vondell Boyer said he and others are starting to wonder what will happen when the cat runs out of rabbits and other small animals to eat.......Probably eat some dogs---problem solved.

So this article is implying that Detroit is going to the animals - right? Well it looks like the animals can run Detroit better than an Ass, I mean a Democrap.

I think it would be cool to remove all the dilapidated houses, and let the trees and bushes and flowers and animals and birds come back in....keep walking paths and some old houses that have been fixed up, some street lights, etc just to make it a historic preserve as well.....

Good to keep the wild dogs under control.

Hey, cats got to eat.

Just hope the meat they find is not too diseased...........

[Tax-chick]

Is he?

[RoosterRedux]

The cat is 4 ft tall.

If that is its height standing on its hind legs that's not too bad. But if that's its shoulder height standing on all fours...this cat is a monster.

Either way, I wish him good hunting in the Motor City. Plenty of rats, dogs, and thugs.

[Tax-chick]

Or just something fun to chase.

A tiger???
