This is the blog for our little farm in Skagit county. Here we have Shetland sheep and Nigerian Dwarf goats. In addition we have donkeys, cattle, pigs, chickens, geese, and peafowl. The blog describes the weekly activities here.
I thought it did not look big enough, but the color and tail are not right for a coyote. And the ears and tail are not right for Steve. So I am not sure.
Well Fish and Wildlife yesterday afternoon killed a 2-3 year old cougar that had killed three of my neighbors sheep the night before and they are still hunting for another one. So I am thinking it is a cougar.
Hmm; the ears don’t look round enough, and compared to the fence posts, it doesn’t look big enough.

It’s definitely not Steve. I’m not sure just what it is, though. Maybe you’ll get another view or two. Can you aim your camera a little differently?
I haven’t, but it has not been back in 10 days. Thanks for confirming it is not Steve.
I just showed the pictures to my Hunny. He wondered if it could be a large house cat. I sort of wondered that too. Right shape of ears…
That’s what I thought when I saw the photos, too. Clearly cat, but not nearly big enough or the correct ear shape for a cougar.

Oh dear!! But a 2-3 year old cougar would be full grown, wouldn’t it? Keep us updated on this mystery! Please?
