A 'very big cat' is on the loose in North Chicago, authorities say - May be a cougar?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-090329-cougar-chicago,0,563499.story

Police in North Chicago are on the lookout for what Mayor Leon Rockingham described Saturday as a "very big cat" that authorities believe could be a wild cougar.

Authorities on Friday made a plaster cast of what appeared to be a large paw print, adding credence to a spate of reports that a wildcat was on the prowl.

"Being a cat, it could be on the ground or up in a tree, or anywhere," the mayor said.

City officials tried to get the word out to residents that they should be careful when visiting forested areas, where the cat might be on the prowl for food.

1. If it recommends unorthodox usage of Cheetos, I may know this cat.

2. Was it reported missing by the Mellencamp family, by any chance?
