1999 I was sitting in a stand off 43 north of Tuscaloosa. Had 2 bobcats in the field and they spooked and took off. A tan cat walked through the field. This was before cell cameras. After it left I got down, went to truck and called the local warden. I had, atthattime, nice fresh tracks in the field. Game Warden told me I was FOS. Told him to come cast the track before he made his mind up. He never showed and we never saw it again.

I did learn later that a guy close to there had a couple cats in an enclosure and they got lose. I know for a fact what I saw, wish I knew if it was wild or an escapee.
