I just got in and noticed that there was a sign up about 20 feet to the left of our house where a future bike path will run. It will cross thorough the green space behind our house.
This is what it said:

CAUTION: There has been a recent cougar sighting in this area. Do not let small children and pets out of your sight.

WHAT!?!?!!? So I called my next door neighbor who is on the city council and yep, last night a man who lives on the other side of the green space just below our house saw a cougar in the woods. I guess there will be no more playing outside for Jack and Alice for a while….

Definitely freaky…
