Well, back from my parents and had an interesting weekend....
My nephews, age 11 and 7 were staying there was well. Yesterday my father was showing them his firearms (minus bullets of course, he always hides the guns well and doesnt keep the ammo in the same place. EVER. He never has.) when I heard my oldest nephew ask about an animal he saw while looking out the window. My father looked and said he thought it was the size of a bear cub...by this time I was curious!! I went over to the window to catch seeing the back end of a black animal with a long tail.
Over the years family members have seen these big black cats, bigger than a bobcat but smaller than a cougar. What they are, who knows? I did talk to a guy in Texas once that said they have them in the big thicket of Texas and surrounding areas and they call them river cats. How true that was, I dont know.
My father took the boys over there to look for tracks and found some pretty big cat tracks.
My mother and I were talking, wondering why an animal would be so close to the houses (this is a small group of 7 houses), and thought it was either sick or very hungry.
