BEND, OR -- Bend Police say a cougar was again spotted in the northwest region of the city, Thursday morning. Community Service officers responded to the 1500 block of NW Remarkable Drive just before 8 a.m. They searched the area but did not locate the cougar. 

BPD notified the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and urge the public to keep small animals secure and on-leash. 

Thursday's sighting comes less than a week after a cougar was reported near the Central Oregon Community College campus in northwest Bend.
