[or-roots] Sumtin besides cars

There are certainly stories that can be told on both sides of this issue.  
Everyone fears the big cats.  There have been attacks on joggers and hikers  in 
areas that have not traditionally had a population of big cats.  There  is an 
interesting and informative book that was published a few years ago.   The 
name is CAT ATTACKS.  I don't recall the name of the author but it is  true 
stories of cat attacks that have occurred in the pacific northwest.   They include 
stories that have occurred on Vancouver Island.  The cats  there have 
apparently become thoroughly habituated to humans and can be found at  the edge of 
school yards laying in wait for a meal of the 2 legged sort.   As well as a story 
of a cat crashing through a cabin window trying to get the  human inside.  I 
personally opened my front door a year or so ago to chase  a couple of deer 
out of my flowers in the middle of the night and when I yelled  at them 
something really big hissed at me from behind my woodshed.  I was  sure I was 
hallucinating so I yelled again.  The darn thing hissed at me  again.  Unfortunately, 
I was not able to find tracks when I looked the next  day because its dry here 
and it was August so the ground was too hard to tell  tales.
