Big Cats Living As Wild In The Uk

[Pat]

Last week I had just finished my last dog walk, it was near enough dark when something large and black ran accross the front of my car, I thought it was a dog but seemed a bit too large, I was about to drive off but then thought someone might have lost their dog and I would have felt a bit guilty if I didn't try to catch it so I got out of my car and went into the field where it had gone ( I've got a very powerful torch, 3500 candles ) I shone the torch up and down the field but no sign of any animal so I went off home. 2 nights later I had just finished my last walk and it was dark, I suddenly saw something appear in the gap in the hedge and thought it was one of my foxes turning up early for their food then I thought thats too large for a fox ( my lights were still off because I'd only just got into the car ) I was only about 4ft away from it, I put my headlights on full and saw that it was a large black cat,about the size of a large German Shepherd only shorter legs, I was that close that I noticed it had a grey muzzle and big grey whiskers, it looked quite old, it was only there for afew seconds then it ran back into the field, needless to say I didn't go after it this time Since then my foxes have been acting a bit funny, they've been coming over looking very nervous and instead of eating the food where I put it the've been grabbing a bit and running off so the big cat is obviously hanging around.

The Beast of Balbirnie in Fife has turned out to be a St Bernard. A big cat "expert" had ID'd the "pug marks" as being from a big cat, but they have since been found to be identical to Bernard the St Bernards who was on holiday from Berkshire!

I've been looking at the Big Cat websites, especially the picture sections. Lots of photo's of people looking for big cats in snazzy camo coats and expensive bins, no convincing pics of any cats

If you see a big cat, remember where it was and check out the pug marks the following day, if there are claws visible in the tip of the toe marks - its a dog.

my dad was driving me to college in wyning garden city in herdforshire. it was near the xerox building i think it was on a golf coarse. and we were driving a about ten metres away there was a black loapard. i am 100% sure of this. i told my dad stright away and he said that he sore it to. so we stopped to look at it more and it ran into the woods. i got a clear look at it and im 100% sure it was a leopard. i was so happy. after college i went back to were it ran and there were lots of big cat foot prints not dog prints. i have already reported it to a big cat website but i throught il tell u lot as well.

I saw one a couple of years ago but no one would believe me so I just thought forget about it, I know I saw it so that's all that matters

Hi all,

I was very interested to hear about the recent big cat sighting in Stocksfield, Northumberland, as I saw the cat myself in February at almost exactly the same spot. I live in Prudhoe, a nearby town, and I caught it in my headlights while driving at night down the Whittonstall road towards Stocksfield.

I saw it quite clearly, side on, and its main distinguishing features in the headlights were its large size, its large, round, bright (unmistakably cats) eyes, and its long, thin tail.

I immediately turned the car around and went back to find it but couldn't. My walks in nearby Broomley Woods haven't quite been the same since!!! I'd love to see it again.

I'm sure we all love big cats, but as you have irresponsible people who keep and breed them, you also have nutters that release them and equally nutters that want to dress up in all this fancy camo gear and shoot them, so my advice is if you see one is to just shut up.

hi, alian big cats are usually shortened to ABC's and if you do report one its refered to as a cat flap! i think thats cute!

there have been abc's reported in Baisingstoke - near where i grew up. it used to lie in trees watching dog walkers. also there is ment to be at least one on Cannock Chase - where i live now. its reported as anything from a black cat to a wolf? anyway whatever it is has a very long life or there is a breeding community. its been reported for about 30 years on and off. if you do see something and with the modern phones photo's could be taken you should contact the Alien big cat group. google will bring up the sites. the police could also be informed if you think it was in a very public area or near children although they'll just non and smile mostly. however the most reports of these sightings actually come from police officers!

hummmm......

We have many big cats living wild in the north york moors, They are often spotted drinking at the same clear springs that the mountain pixies use to wash their little green hats in.
I have often come across their tracks when I have been out fishing. You can definately tell they are black leopards and not ordinary ones because their tracks look like large dog prints.
Apparantly the reason no one has published a photo of them is because they are given magic dust by the pixies. This dust makes the camera break down if you try and photograph them....

Really never read such tosh in all my life.....
