Mountain Lion Sighting in Torrington

I was at my friend's home (9/17/2016) which is on the Torrington/Litchfield line on New Litchfield Street. I was looking out the window in her bathroom which looks out over the river and woods, when I spotted a large "cat" walking down the rocks of the river. The water is very low right now. My friend's home is very secluded. The cat had a long tail, was tannish in color, and was probably about 80 to 100 pounds. I watched it saunter like a cat down the river. It was definitely not a Bobcat. The head, color, and tail were just like a mountain lion. It was beautiful to watch unobserved. I enjoyed the moment and did not run for my camera.
