"I looked at it and I thought, 'That is the biggest cat I have ever seen,'" Donna Singleton told WDRB. "It was very, very beautiful."
They left the home for four hours and the big cat hadn’t moved.
“My husband, Ray, said, ‘I think that's a bobcat.’ With that, we got in the car, came back at 11:30 and it’s still there,” Donna Singleton said.
Like Donna Singleton, neighbors began taking videos and photos of the bobcat.

According to WDRB, residents in the area suspect that the bobcat is a pet because it's been seen in the area before. It's also known that someone in the area owns a bobcat. With the proper permit, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources says it's legal to own the big cat, according to WDRB.
The bobcat eventually woke and walked away.
