No ...No way in hell I'd let the cats out up there. No way! Of course, they don't appear even remotely interested in the Great Outdoors, and I don't live there, so that makes it easy for me to talk.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-31151590770733687772009-03-01T18:44:00.000-05:002009-03-01T18:44:00.000-05:00Christopher, Didn't I tell you about my neighbor ...Christopher, Didn't I tell you about my neighbor spotting a black panther up your way?

I was on a mtn at night at a house, heard the scream, eerie. I asked, "what is that" they replied, "panther".

We are so relieved she is back and unharmed. The drama going on there on the mountain is too much.

I am a dog person, not a cat person, but is it possible to get your guys inside before dark and keep them there?<BR/><BR/>I assume it was not either a coyote or a fox - don't want to insult your intelligence, but the pointy ears thing made me wonder.<BR/><BR/>Well, who knows, maybe you'll wind up with FOUR cats before long!

This will be an ongoing concern though.<BR/><BR/>The other cat I saw could not have been a Bobcat or a Lynx. It was too small for a cougar. It sat on the driveway in the dark about 100 feet from me and then took off. Unless some small wild cats like ocelot have moved here, it must have been a domestic cat which we Christopher C.
