This one was supposedly a wild cat that someone happened to pick up on a
security or nature cam.  We have actually had some reality TV shows about
people who own wild cats.  A lot of them really do act like housecats but,
as you point out, if something goes wrong the magnitude of what happens
could be increased dramatically.

Well, yeah, it is difficult not to run into them.  ;)
