Yes, you are right.  It wasn't far from a lot of wide-open space.  But it 
was trotting along a street in a very densely populated area with very few 
trees, so I think it wasn't much afraid of being there.  Given that, it 
isn't too surprising that they would extend farther into town, but I don't 
know how far they'd go or why they'd do it.  You mentioned cats.  Well, 
maybe that's what draws them in.  Or maybe it's garbage.
