1. Kicking for visibility

2. A leopard is non-dangerous?

At minimum, it's pretty dangerous to most people's pets I'd imagine.

3. That was my reaction as well.

A leopard is not dangerous?

4. I don't know why he's not considered dangerous. I thought that was strange.

6. I am comparing the size of those paws to the paws of my 8 lb Maltese doggy.

But god this leopard is beautiful.

7. Apparently clouded leopards are not huge, only grow up to about 50 lbs

And head-body length around 3 feet.

Still ... one of them crossed my path I'd be pretty scared, and I'm not a small person.

Edit: Not a 20lb one like this one ... but a 50lb one? Sheeeit. Steering way clear.

They're freaking gorgeous tho!

16. I saw the neighborhood bobcat drinking from our birdbath. She was solid muscle...

I think trying to interfere with her would be a bad idea, kind of like getting on the wrong side of a buzz-saw.

Those clouded leopards are gorgeous — and bigger than the bobcat. Given how many humans go all gooey over anything feline and spend a lot of time trying to rescue feral housecats, I’m sure there’s a percentage who think they could befriend a bobcat or clouded leopard.

11. Probably right about pets, but check this link out. I just had to google after reading

this piece. Pretty awesome:

12. These are a species from Asia and fairly diminuative as leopards go.

They are considered "friendly" in captivity but obviously, they might be far less 'friendly' on the loose. Females are about 20-25 pounds and males up to 50 or so.

5. Not threat to humans?

9. Kitty got out, going on an adventure.

10. Twenty pounds.....

I wouldn't see that as much of a threat either. My little Collie weighs more than that.

Please don't shoot her. She's probably terrified and hiding.

17. A bobcat, which averages smaller, can bring down a small deer

13. I hope it is OK.

I hope no asshole kills it.

14. Walk through the zoo while shaking the dry food container.

If that doesn't work, try popping open some cat food cans.



All kidding aside, I hope they find their missing cat soon!

19. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

or setup a computer workstation and a plate of snacks...Every animal that I have ever known cannot resist the urge sit between a human and their monitor...
oh
better idea...
put out a few open boxes

[Sneederbunk]

15. Blended with the crowd and walked out.

[FelineOverlord]

18. Still not found. Updates soon?

25. Naughty Kitteh

Went on walkabout!

[Withywindle]

27. What are the chances that she never actually left her enclosure

Just hid very well inside it, and the zoo officials are too embarrassed to admit it?


--has never organized a whole day's frantic neighborhood search for a cat who was asleep in a box of winter clothes in the closet the whole time, no, not me.

26. Was it under the couch?

...because that's usually the first place I look when I lose something.

28. Nova is doing very well
