A local farmer lost a couple of cows last year and the vet swears that it was a large cat that did it. There was video on Channel 12 from Cape Girardeau that showed a large cat walking down the road, some said it was a bob cat, others thought different. If it was a bob cat, it was a monster. It was filmed locally. We are near the Shawnee National Forest, the Cache River area and Mermit Lake so there is plenty of wild area around.
