"But they're such magnificent creatures!"

LOOMIS — Neighbors in one Northern California community are on edge after several attacks on livestock from a mountain lion. One 8-acre property has had the cat return several times, killing a few goats.

Winter Holloway, who owns property in the Placer County town of Loomis, said her goats are part of the family.

Holloway showed CBS13 where she found mountain lion tracks on her property. She said the conditions of the goat carcasses were a sure sign of a mountain lion.
