We have them too. I'm in Santa Rosa, Ca. about an hour north of San Francisco. It's a BIG metropolitan area, but because of "development" and the creeks in the area that allow cover, cougars have been spotted in people's back yards. I worry, but not for the people -- for the cougars. I hate the thought of someone shooting such a magnificent animal that is clearly in stress or it wouldn't be around a stinking town. I imagine they are eating possums, as they are everywhere, thanks to some nitwit who imported them from Texas or someplace for "sport hunting." People... ~Bonnie
