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.</span></font></p>
