Big Cats

because you could smell where it had marked its territory. >
When we were in Colorado, around Salida, we wandered around the mountains
quite a bit. I recall being in an area where you could smell the big cat.
I kept my little dog close and my gun handy, but we never saw anything. You
can't mistake the smell, though. Take a house cat's pee and multiply that
times 100. It is very strong.
There are still big cats in TX. There is one south of San Antonio that has
been killing some livestock. It has been seen by several farmers there.
And, from what I understand, bobcats are still numerous in South Texas.
I in a small town, and we recently we had some havelinas show up in Aransas
Pass. We have an alley behind our house and some number of acres of woods
with houses scattered here and there. Two small ones and one big one came
up. The two small ones were playing with our dogs. Running up and down the
fence and getting nose to nose with them. They had a huge time for about
half an hour. I had never seen havelinas play with dogs before. It was
strange.
