Did big foot have the black cat on a lead ?
Mountain lion sure. Black cat ? Never been proof.

According to a biologist I have talked to, there has never been any recorded proof that a mountain lion has a black color phase. Now a jaguar or a leopard does have a black color phase so maybe a escapee from captivity is on the loose. I have lived all over the country & I have heard stories about a black panther that has been seen in the area.
Another option, I have run russian hogs that I saw cross the road & thought they were black but when we caught them were that rusty reddish brown color, so alot of times animals seen in shadows do look black.
I wish we had more of them, I would love to tree one with my hounds, not to kill it but just to get some photos.
Another thing, talk to any lion hunter & they will tell you, lions just are not very vocal, they will hiss & growl when treed, but scream, never.
Now nobody is saying it is a cougar just a large black cat. Leapords come of from Mexico and they can be black. I personally think the black cats are leapords and not cougars. I was looking at the one I saw through a scope and the light was not behind it. It was so black that when I first looked I thought it was a lost cow until the tail came up. I was down close to Mexico and the shot would have been across a traveld public road, unto a Federal Game Life Refuge and the Game Warden Station was less than two miles away. I talked to them and they said that he had so many people say they saw the cat that he knew there was one. But he thought it was a leapord and not a puma (cougar). It stayed on the refuge and never left a track on our lease like it knew where it was safe.
