I got a message earlier today from sibling that my youngest nibling came face-to-face with a cougar this morning on the way to school.
& I don't mean the kind that wears rhinestone flip-flops & drinks too much Rosé, I mean the kind that's a big silent assassin cat with pointy teeth that eats things smaller than it.
Nibling ran like hell back into the house & got an adult. Adult confirmed that yes, it was indeed a cougar, fully adult, & not actually going anywhere, which was scary - they usually move on pretty quick when discovered.
@Impious_Jade They've been getting bold here in Oregon as well. So have the coyotes.

@LindaTeppler yeah scariest bit is that the coug didn't immediately leave. It hung around instead.
