Powell’s “wild” cat is tame

COLUMBUS – Powell residents, and their small pets, can rest easier.

A big cat spotted near Valley Run Drive Sunday night is just that — a big cat.


Police say the experts from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources determined that the animal may fit the description of a 20-pound, 2 ½-foot long tabby cat, according to the Powell police Twitter feed.

The cat was reported missing from a nearby home in June.
