Microsoft cougar has been found ... on Twitter
Posted by Sharon Pian Chan

Redirect the hounds from the Microsoft campus to Twitter.
Someone has started a Twitter account @microsoftcougar, under the name Redmund Kitteh. Thank you to the keen eyes of fellow Seattle Times reporter Nicole Tsong (@nicolestsong).
Several people at Microsoft have reported seeing a cougar at the Redmond campus this past week, which has now spawned the Twitter kitty alterego.
The cougar tweets in the kitty style of I Can Has Cheezburger, a blog on funny cat photos. And it looks like this cougar's been lurking since well before last Thursday, when reports of cougar sightings first surfaced at the Microsoft campus.
Latest Tweet:
"DAMMITZ! I HAZ TO EZKAPE FROM BOTH HUNTING DOGS AAAND SNO LEPERDS?!?!"
Other funny ones:
"I EATS TEH DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS NOMNOMNOMNOMDEVELOPERSNOMNOMNOM"
Here is our last news update on the cougar. Hunting dogs from the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife scoured the campus on Sunday.
And check out the Twitter feed below.
