Yesterday we saw a big black cat on our property. It was very big, much much bigger than a house cat, bigger than a bobcat, too. And it was solid black. I was out there with all the children and we all got a very good long look at it.

It was close by and we watched it run across the pasture away from us and jump over the fence. My first thought was that it was a panther, but we apparently don't have panthers in Texas. My research suggests that what we have is a black jaguar or black cougar. I didn't know either of these existed before doing this reading.

I thought ya'll would be interested in the story. I'll post again if we see it again!
