A5 Cougar spotted in Prairie City Officials urge residents to report big cat sightings Blue Mountain Eagle A cougar was seen Sunday night in Prairie City. Chelsey McDaniel said a friend saw the cat run across North Johnson Street at about 11 p.m. McDaniel got her ri- fle, and they followed the cat’s tracks until they lost them near Cozart Street. She typically buys a cougar tag but said she has never seen one in the wild, despite grow- ing up in the area. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist Ryan Torland urges people to call dispatch or ODFW if they see a big cat in town. Cats are often just passing through, but if they remain in populated areas for an ex- tended time it can be a prob- lem, he said. Though it is a public safe- ty concern, it’s also a part of living in an area rich in wild- life, Torland said.
