This morning about 5:15am, I happened to look out the window just as a very large cat walked east across 9th Ave SW (near Elmgrove). It was maybe 4x the size of a standard house cat — probably 40-50 lbs, a bit larger than my medium-sized dog. Thinking my eyes were tricking me, I tried to convince myself it was a dog, but it moved just like a cat. It walked behind a parked car and into a yard on the east side of 9th.
I haven’t read or heard anything recently about cougar (?–or other big cat) sightings in our neighborhood. Anyone seen something similar?
