COIMBATORE: Fear gripped Valparai and surroundings after a leopard entered a house on Monday night and took away a pet cat.
Jayanthi Sivan (40), a resident of Cooperative Colony in Valparai, was busy in the kitchen when she heard pounding sounds and growls around 8.15pm. When she went to the main hall to check out the noise, she saw the leopard walk out of the house with one of her cats. A shocked Jayanthi cried for help. By the time neighbours arrived, the animal had slipped into darkness.
The house is situated close to Nadumalai Tea Estate, where leopard sightings have become common after dark. Hamsa Bava, a neighbour, said the leopard is likely to return since it knows that about the other cat.
The other cat is so scared that it has not eaten any food so far, said Jayanthi.
