RE: Cougar or yote
Could be, but house cats are way smaller than any of the big kitties, but they hate you and would run for their lives from a human under normal circumstances, but if they were in a zoo they might have somewhat be come accustomed to people. That would be pretty cool to have on your land, but I doubt that anything like that really happened. The only jaguar you are likely to see up here in the states is a solitary adult male and if you were lucky he might look at you before he bolted if he know you were there.
