Maybe Rachel Vincent's books are being played out in the news now? Could this be a naughty stray? Cat killed in Missouri identified as leopard The leopard probably escaped captivity but no one has reported it missingNEOSHO, Mo. - Missouri state biologists said Sunday that a big, black cat killed by a sheriff's deputy has been identified as a leopard.
James Dixon of the Missouri Department of Conservation said the animal was identified by the St. Louis Zoo.
Newton County Sheriff's Corporal Donn Hall shot the animal when it charged him on May 19. A woman had reported the cat was scratching at the door of her home near Neosho.
Leopards are native to Africa and Asia. Conservation officials say the cat killed in Newton County was likely a captive that had escaped. Owners of big cats in Missouri are required to register their animals but the sheriff's department says no one has reported a leopard missing.

Beverage company wins bridesmaid auctionBride-to-be in Virginia offered spot in bridal party to the highest bidderWithout a doubt, weddings can be a bit pricey, especially if you and your groom or bride-to-be only make a combined salary of $32,000 a year.
That's why a Virginia Beach hairdresser decided to auction off an opportunity to be a bridesmaid in her April 19, 2009 wedding.
It turns out that 23-year-old Kelly Gray and fiance Karl Gau, who were looking to keep their wedding budget at or below $7,000, will now have a much more elaborate wedding than originally planned thanks to a major soft-drink company.
The idea sparked media attention across the country, as well as the attention of the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, which placed the winning bid of $5,700, then upped the ante to $10,000.
Gray says she just wanted to have a nice wedding and needed to make up for the costs.
Kelly says she, "was contemplating doing a bake sale and my bridesmaid said: 'We need to auction something (on EBay). There's Dr. Pepper cans and Cheetos bags for sale, so let's just go ahead and do a bridesmaid'. And I did not think anything would happen out of it - nothing."
They decided that, not only would the winner get the chance to be in Kelly's wedding, they'd also receive a dress and shoes, as well as an invitation, plus one, to the reception. If a man happened to be the winner, they'd supply the tuxedo.
Little did she know her idea would get so much attention. She was interviewed by TV networks and newspapers.
When the bidding closed at 7:27 p.m. on Wednesday, the winning bid was $5,700. The winner: "drpeppersnapple".
Gray and her fiance had planned to keep the wedding budget under $7,000 by using an iPod, instead of a DJ and baking their own wedding cake. Now they can plan for something a bit bigger.
A representative for Dr. Pepper Snapple Group says they'll even provide drinks for the April 19, 2009 wedding.
They also plan to launch a Website to find Kelly a bridesmaid, or possibly even provide a surprise guest for the position. Now EVERYBODY'S gonna be auctioning off a bridal party spot or looking for corporate sponsors for their weddings. Ick. How creepy would it be to have a stranger in your wedding? In all the photos and everything.
