There are cougars in RI. My father saw one across the road in front of him early in the morning @ Quonset Point. I know of another man in Saunderstown who's neighbor saw one kill a deer in their yard. They are here. Look at how many home movies of mountain lions in Connecticut there are on youtube.com.

My wife and I observed 2 yes two cougers on rte 95 in Warwick Rhode Island on Oct 4th 2009 We pulled over and watched for a minute or so from only 20 to 30 yards away,They were definately Cougers One larger than the other They were large healthy animals they very calmly walked away into the brush

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE OF SPOTTING A BLACK COUGAR OR ONE HECK OF A CAT IN NC. ON HIGHWAY 27, OUTSIDE OF LILLINGTON,NC AT THE LANDFILL. THIS CAT WAS HUGE- AT LEAST 65 LBS OR LARGER. IN MY AMAZEMENT AFTER FIRST REALIZING IT WAS A HUGE CAT- I WATCHED IT RUN ACROSS THE YELLOW SAND AT THE LANDFILL. I STOOD THERE AND OBSERVED THE CAT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. THEN HE DISAPPEARED INTO THE WOODS. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS SEEN A COUGAR IN THIS AREA AS WELL? I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I SEEN.
AMAZED IN FUQUAY

Cougars have been making an appearance lately in a rural town in Virginia, too. Several local residents have seen one in the last few years but kept quiet because they didn't think anyone would believe it. A number of sightings have been made public from March thru July 2008. Go to www.cougarintheneighborhood.blogspot.com to read about the Blackstone incidents. Many letters have more recently started coming in to the local newspaper from all over the U.S. telling about sightings in other states.

On August 1,08 playing golf my foursum all saw a what looked like orange/brown lab w/ a cat head and face. It looked to weigh about 100lbs to 120lbs we were about 40yrds away. I know that it is very unlikely it was a mt.lion but when you see what we saw you would think you were in Montana.It was something right out of the zoo. They say there was a sighting in Monmouth Maine and the golf course was in Leeds Maine not far from each other.

They should check at Bentleys, otherwise she probably went to Bethesda.

A friend of mine was asking us if anyone had heard of a cougar in the area. He was very concerned but quite sure that was what he saw sitting in a ditch on Ashcake Rd in Mechanicsville. He was telling us this story on July 5th stating that he had seen it earlier in the week or week before!
