Cat-Hunting Gargoyle
by Nicholas
My son and I were taking one of his friends home shortly after dark in early March of 2004 in Chandler, Arizona. We got to the end of our street, and as we took a left turn I spotted something rather large perched on the curb above a storm drain. I said to the boys, "Did you guys see that?!" They both replied, "Yeah, what the heck WAS it?!" We all agreed it must have weighed about 200 pounds and that it had long, pointy ears and was weirdly squatted or perched on feet or haunches. The problem was, it was dark and we only got a quick look at it as the headlights of my truck had not really shined on the thing, but merely had lit the area next to it.
We all agreed whatever it was it was pretty strange, especially the ears and the way it was squatting on the curb over the storm sewer. One interesting thing is that this storm sewer is used by feral cats in our neighborhood. My son and I have come up with the theory that whatever it was, it was there because it was hunting cats. Something else my son and I have discussed is that none of the three of us even thought about turning the truck around to get a better look at the thing; oddly, it simply had not entered our minds. We still shake our heads and wonder if we should have turned around for a better look, but then again maybe it's best we didn't.
