Last winter my wife was looking out our front window at about 2:00 a.m. and saw a small cat-like animal that she had never seen before. Larger than a domestic cat, somewhat short stubby looking tail, and then it was gone.

The only thing I could find online that she agreed might look like what she saw is the Jaguarundi, but the Florida wildlife folks told me there is no photographic evidence to confirm that these cats are in Florida.

Searching online, I find various hits where people say they have seen or think they have seen the Jaguarundi in the state, but it remains a mystery waiting to be solved. Maybe someday the wildlife officials will come across one or somebody will manage to get convincing evidence.

Here is one link to a supposed sighting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xai4jZb_p68
