PS
There have also been big cat sightings over the years in our housing tracts, here in Southern California. Our daughter saw one go over her neighbor’s fence about 6 years ago.
My folks are out in Arizona, in the northern “high desert” area, and there are bobcats and cougars all over the place. They’ll walk right into the subdivisions at night to find water (and grab any loose housepets).
There was a lady from California that moved in and she had “outdoor cats” that she let roam around. They disappeared very quickly and I don’t think anyone had the heart to tell her what happened.
