[Rhodes22-list] Rummy's Cat Problem

[Tootle]

Captain Rummy:

When I posted the information about the wild hogs 30 miles north of you, I
did not get into the "extinct" cats.  Years ago they were call "extinct". 
Then after I saw my first one, the ranger said, yea we know about them, but
must be pets let loose.  

The Carolina Panthers choose their name and logo for a reason.  My second
sighting was a "Black extinct cat" in North Carolina.

Here is a web site that has some information:

http://www.easterncougar.org/

Find somewhere in the fine print that the road kill in Kentucky was checked
by DNA and determined to be a mixed breed: Half North American and Half
South American, so the pet found company.

I used to know a deer hunter who had a permanent tree stand in Laurens
county.  When I told him sighting, he said yea, I had a tawny one walk right
under my stand early one morning.  Tan in South Carolina and Black in North
Carolina...

But I do not carry a side arm hiking for the cats, only the oinkers.  When
the cats see you, they disappear fast.  Before you can get a camera out of a
back pack.  Locally they are referred to as long tail cats to distinguish
them from the bob cats.

have one book, what would it be? I always say 'How to Build a Boat" -
