Wildcats are not limited to Kentucky

In case you think things are boring in this sleepy expat community, take a look. This headline was at the top of the front page of the weekly English-language newspaper:

There seems to be some debate as to exactly what kind of cat this is.  The paper calls it a jaguar; others insist it's a cheetah.  Some call it a "tigre." Nevertheless, there's widespread agreement that wild cats of this sort don't belong in residential neighborhoods.  This happened about a block from where we were staying last summer in La Floresta, near where the horses are tied up.

On the Chapala webboard, I like this exchange:

Question: But what about the OP who said someone's dog was killed by this jaguar? That's horrible, if true.

 Response:  It was a chihuahua.

Oh, well, that's different--not a real dog, just a bite.
