(Watch out boys!  Grrrr... but seriously, watch out for a big cat in Milwaukee!)

A cougar may be on the prowl in Milwaukee.

"I thought it, I thought it was the end you know? I mean I thought he was going to leap," says Carl Slaski.

Slaski is an early riser. Wednesday morning just before 3 he was at Honey Dip Donuts to get a cup of coffee. Out in the parking lot, he ended up eye to eye with what looked like a cougar.
