The wife just told me about her walk this morning along side of bearcreek, she said as she came to the turn off to our house she seen this cat in the middle of the path looking at her and then it ran away..
I said so it was cat and them she said it was a big cat with a long tail
I said how big, oh bigger then Alex she says ( he is a lab / sheppard cross around 70 lb )
so I look at her and said it was a cougar how close were you about 20 feet away.
she kinda of when a bit pale and said she will stay away from the ceek for awhile..
I called wildlife and they said they will put up signs to let people know hmmmm..

    Wow Roger. Which Bear Creek? There are many in the US? I am familiar with the one that runs from Evergreen to Morrison in Colorado. We have mountain lions (cougars) in Nebraska too.

    You're correct, that's why they come into the City as well as for deer as they get lasy in the city parks and then they become lunch for the cats and bears and wolverines.

    We know there's lots of Cats around it just unusual to see one as they are very good at hiding.

    Cheers
