This is actually down the street from my family home:

Kind of ironic - I grew up there, know the area extremely well and I know cats; I'd probably be the first person to find it if I were around (I'm a few hours away) considering all of the feral trapping.
GOD, it pisses me off that people keep these animals as pets.
My parents left our Great Danes out, but I guess people have been calling around the neighborhood because our area has a lot of horse farms (sheep, domestic pets, etc...). That cat is declawed; I hope they don't shoot it.

The area used to be very woodsy, but now it's relatively suburban. It borders a picturesque state park and a municipal area (recycling, dump).Long Island can be a jungle, and the 75-pound cat living in Thomas and Martha Wentzâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s basement apparently felt the urge to explore the wilds of Fort Salonga yesterday afternoon, Suffolk police said.
The cat, an ocelot named Tigger, escaped from a window at the four-story home on the 200 block of Bread and Cheese Hollow Road around 4:30 p.m.
It hadnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t been sighted early this morning as police prowled the woods around the ritzy North Shore community with a helicopter and a canine unit. Police, who at first thought Tigger was a tiger, said the ocelot is more than just a big cat.
