    Recent alleged sightings? There was video of one napping in a Chicago Quiznos last year. Probably tired from his long train ride.

    Got them everywhere out here, and they're attacking dogs. One person in Boulder County took some pretty good shots, including dogs going after Wile E.

    That's true, but I'm guessin (but admit I don't know) that the Chicago cougar was of the escaped pet variety, instead of being part of a migrating population. If wild cougars have reached Chicago I'd think there'd have been a lot more incidents than that.

    But think it's interesting the way cougars have begun reclaiming Eastern territory the same way Coyotes did a couple decades ago. Coyotes are now absolutely everywhere, makes you wonder where the big cats might start showing up next.
