This was an funny and intertaining story, thanks for sharing.

My father seen a Cougar near Pugwash, he was a trapper for years and =
caught many Bobcats and Coyotes, he knows his animals intimately. As =
Ulli says, we need hard evidence. If I ever seen one I will be looking =
for hair, footprints, scat etc. where it was seen, after I try to =
capture images of it that is. If you see a Cougar, look over the area =
for evidence folks.

All the best,
  Hi Ulli
  Reminds me of the time many years ago when I was a Councillor at a =
youth camp in Truro.
  The councillors were not above some small parties after the youth were =
safely in bed
  and were not always the sharpest at the crack of dawn.
  Anyway one morning as the light was coming from the east, several =
youth came running into
  our camp saying "There is an elephant in the orchard"
  Scientifically this should not be so - however when the fog lifted =
from my head, sure enough
  there was an elephant feeding on the apple trees. Pulling the little =
trees out with its trunk and
  eating the foliage, small apples, worms and whatever else was in the =
tree.
  Turned out there was a circus several miles away and it had escaped =
for a few hours of freedom.
  The caretakers soon had it rounded up.
  After that I tended to believe a lot of stories that perhaps were not =
accurate in all details.
  So you never can be sure
  Enjoy the summer
  Paul
