Panthers in Keller

"I had a friend give me your site. In Early November, I saw a Panther here in Keller. I live in a place that has lots of trees and about 15 acres behind me, I was out on my back porch at about 11:45 A.m and I saw a Panther.....I know it WAS NOT a big dog...cats slink...walk out of a stand of trees and lay down...lick it's paws and get up again. It's head was huge! I called Animal Control...they treated me like a Dumb Blonde...told me Panthers were not "indiginous" to Texas......told me it was probably a 40 pound housecat..HELLO! This was more like 140 pounds.....Acted like I was crazy! Then, a friend sent me TONS of articles about Panthers in Keller! I know what I saw.....a huge black cat...not a housecat...and when I told my husband..he said he had seen big tracks just 2 days before...and wondered what the heck! It was so refreshing to see that maybe..just maybe..I wasnt crazy! I called my neighbor and guess what? Her 2 show dogs were going nuts just about the time I saw the Panther go into her yard!"

"The funny thing is...I had my digital camera right in my kitchen..but I couldn't stop staring at the Panther to even think to go get it! My mind was baffled! It was very calm and not in a hurry. It was amazing! I live on Woodland Trail....off of Rapp Road and Shady Lane. I just was so frustrated that Animal Control acted like that. I know they dont want a panic, but he could have at least informed me that there had been sitings in Keller. Everybody I told believed me except him!

Just wanted to share my story! Thank You!"
