State wildlife officials are investigating a southern Indiana family’s report that a mountain lion killed their pet cat.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says it received a report March 11th that an animal, possibly a mountain lion, attacked and killed a domestic cat in Brown County.
The agency says a search of the reported attack site found no tracks associated with a mountain lion.
The DNR says mountain lions vanished in Indiana by the late 1800s, but there have been confirmed sightings in 2009 in Clay County and 2010 in Greene County.
