[fairplay]

A big cat isn't going to hang around a Kentucky Fried Chicken like a fox would for food, it will head off into the deep country side which is where I found 'my' big cat over 15 years ago (so I accept and know they do exist in Britain)

What I cannot accept is the amount of unconfirmed sightings on that map, the majority which seem to be centred around major towns and cities. You may as well have produced a map of 'angel' sightings and it probably would not look much different.

OK, I accept a lot will have escaped from illegal private collections, so therefore will be used to humans, but having been kept in captivity by humans, surely it's natural instinct will be to keep as far away as possible, yet looking carefully at the map the big open country has far fewer sightings compared to the high population areas around Birmingham.
