Exactly where are you, anyway????

If there is a Puma where you are, have there been reports of missing/maimed
livestock and/or pets?

The reason I ask is that there were reports of a large "cougarlike" cat in
my area, but from last I heard, all tracks found were determined (by
experts) to be from dogs.  *And* there have been no reports of
livestock/pets going missing and/or getting maimed.  If there were such a
cat in our populated area, Fluffy & Fido would make perfect snacks for it.
I'm doubtful that it exists, especially since there are now conflicting
reports on it's color (some say normal cougar coloring, some have said
they've seen black one).

I remember the "giant black wildcat"  that one witness purportedly took a
picture of - and upon examining the picture, there was a normal sized bird
(like a crow) several yards further from the camera than the "wildcat" that,
upon examining the photo, determined to be *bigger* than the "giant black
wildcat" - hence the sighting was of a black dometicated cat!
