(WXYZ) - The 7 Action News team has learned new information in the case of a big cat prowling around Detroit's east side.

According to the group-- Paws for the Cause Feral Cat Rescue-- the big cat has been shot and killed ...

... On Monday, an expert with the Detroit Zoo said the cat was likely a "Savannah" cat -- which is a mix between a wild cat and a domestic house cat.

BTW... That is a Serval, the Detroit zoo should have called me... Speaking of Detroit Zoo, where are the exact boundaries of what is zoo and non zoo Slomo?

Hey, I tell ya', you gotta' wonder sometimes, ... going around some of the vacant housing projects and overgrown lots I've seen ring-neck pheasants, hawks, coyotes, red fox, groundhogs, et... all well within the city limits and in addition to the packs of dogs & feral cats all over the place.

I thought it was on ocelot myself, but it's a hybrid breed of a serval & a domestic cat called a 'Savannah' ... I've been hearing people were feeding it, petting it & taking videos as well, but the media wasn't reporting any of that until after it was shot, but it was somebody's pet ... thing had plenty to eat running around out there though, .
