Ocelots are mostly in south Texas-- believe it or not, they are somewhat domesticable.   Salvadore Dali had one for years.

I know of a jewelry merchant who kept one as a pet and on one of his trips to New York left it in the hotel room while he went to eat.   He came back to find the thing stretched out on the bed like a big house cat next to a bag with a bunch of diamonds but with an interesting twist.  A youngster who came into his room to rob the merchant was standing on top of a dresser shaking like a leaf from fear ot the "T-T-T- Tiger" being turned loose on him.

There is a group of bobcats on Eastchase that have lost their fear of humans and supposedly walked up to a fellow who was walking to get a closer look at him before spraying a tree.There are reports of Jaguars working their way north toward Bexar county but so far all the information is sketchy.

What we really need to worry about are the Chupacabras being driven out of the creek bottoms because of the construction of the new apartments on Texas Highway 10.

If it is a true Ocelot, someone needs to call Texas Parks and Wildlife!  Ocelots are primarily in South Texas( Rio Grande Valley) and Padre, if I'm not mistaken there is a refuge there for them and they ARE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES and Protected by the state!  My husband and I have encountered a Mountain Lion(yes there are mountain lions in north texas) that sucker is big, we were on our 4-wheeler and he came running out of the brush(i was a touch on the frightened side), but as far as the chupacabra, I own 2, they make nice pets!Wink

I think the chupacabras were tied in with the neighborhood UFO activity last week; there is some sort of a tie in between extraterrestials and these critters.   The ET's really have something about cows too.

You may have a vist from the Men In Black next week, so be careful what you post on the list and even what you think.  They can read thoughts.
