[or-roots] Sumtin besides cars

[Harguess, Dale]

Last winter my cousin in Oregon lost 6 of her prized award winning sheep
in one night.  The cats ate everything except the fleece.

She lives in Banks

There are certainly stories that can be told on both sides of this
issue. Everyone fears the big cats.  There have been attacks on joggers
and hikers in areas that have not traditionally had a population of big
cats.  There is an interesting and informative book that was published a
few years ago.  The name is CAT ATTACKS.  I don't recall the name of the
author but it is true stories of cat attacks that have occurred in the
pacific northwest.  They include stories that have occurred on Vancouver
Island.  The cats there have apparently become thoroughly habituated to
humans and can be found at the edge of school yards laying in wait for a
meal of the 2 legged sort.  As well as a story of a cat crashing through
a cabin window trying to get the human inside.  I personally opened my
front door a year or so ago to chase a couple of deer out of my flowers
in the middle of the night and when I yelled at them something really
big hissed at me from behind my woodshed.  I was sure I was
hallucinating so I yelled again.  The darn thing hissed at me again.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find tracks when I looked the next day
because its dry here and it was August so the ground was too hard to
tell tales.
