Thanks, kind anon. I've lived in this region my whole life and neither me or my roommates have ever seen one before.

I've browsed many boards on this site for a long time but this is my first time here. Sorry for any breach of etiquette. Here is a cat picture as a peace offering.

They're rare as fuck. Hopefully you didn't kill it because it looked scary, this is likely the reason for their endangered status. That is a male. It can't even bite you.

We didn't kill it, we just shooed it off the porch so none of us or the dogs stepped on it. I've been looking into them and they seem pretty cool. Surprised I haven't even heard of them before, but in hindsight that makes sense.

I appreciate how each board has its own culture. My trip to /an/ has been very informative.
