TRYON, Oklahoma — A 150-pound cougar in Lincoln County spends part of its time amid a farm's dairy cows.
The animal doesn't mingle, but its cage is in sight of the cattle on U.S. Highway 177 at Tryon.
Leah Aufill says she and her husband, Bob Aufill, believe it's their duty to provide for displaced wild cats.
Leah Augill also told The Oklahoman (http://is.gd/8jflwg ) she lets the cougar sleep in her bed.
The Aufills have been taking in cougars at their home since 2004, when they were given their first cougar cub, Zinnia. Bob Aufill says he worked with large cats for more than 50 years and wanted to get back into the groove when he married Leah.
Once Leah held the cub, Bob says she was hooked.
