RCMP in Creston, B.C. are asking: 'Does anyone know who owns this cheetah?'

[Drache]

The big cat is on the loose in the Kootenays after being spotted hanging out near Highway 3A near Kootenay Bay, about 80 kilometres west of Cranbrook.

The Mounties put out the warning late last night, giving residents in the area of Crawford Bay and Kootenay Bay the heads up.

The RCMP got the report about the wandering adult cheetah at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday after a sighting near the community of Crawford Bay, B.C. A motorist was able to snap a few photos — and noticed the cat was wearing an orange cloth collar.

The Mounties and the British Columbia Conservation Services are now on the hunt to find the animal.

They'd also like to speak to the big cat's custodian.

Until the cheetah is corralled, people are asked to be vigilant outdoors — keeping a close eye on small children and pets.

Conservation officials say a cheetah is typically shy and less aggressive then other members of the large cat family. But it should still be treated like a wild animal, says RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk.

  Dammit, that's mine.  His name is Roger and he got out a few days ago.   He usually gets out and wanders around for a few days.  No biggie, he's a vegetarian although he may kill for sport but that's ok because he's just doing what's natural. 
He loves belly rubs so feel free.

  So!!!!!!!!!!!, you're the one that took my cat!!!   How could you, Skip?  I thought we were buddies.   Well, it looks like you've taken good care of him, so that's a plus.  But, now I have to go to BC before someone makes a rug and a cheetah fajita out of him.

JB, I had flyers out for months saying "found cat"   
I even had it on craigslist.       What else could I do?   
Drache, don't you eat my kitty.

Yeah, I seen your flyer.  Not exactly a good representation of a cheetah, wouldn't you agree?

I ate some good "cat" this morning, although I think it tasted closer to Cougar than Cheetah!

Here we go, another dangerous animal on the loose that somehow got assault-claws & teeth without a background check . . .
