The wife told me she saw a cougar in the yard a few weeks ago. I finally saw it last night. It's a wildcat and a dman big one. I would estimate it to be 40 pounds plus. Didn't get a good look as it was right at dusk, but it was cool watching it. The neighbor's dog smelled it and bean barking, but the cat wasn't very scared of it. I walked out on my deck and he looked right at me. Finally he wandered off.
I'm glad to see they are still around this ever more urban area.
