It wouldn't surprise me in the least - but again no photo.
Weird time of day for a cat to be hunting.

Yes and also im thinking it would be easier for a big cat than for a dog to get on the roof of a car i think thats odd about this story

It's been a while since i last walked up there. I'd love to see it

Nice story for Halloween.

Yes, how would it have trouble getting on the car? Especially if it was two or three times the size of a lurcher. I'm not sure I can imagine the size a cat that big.

could have been a small lurcher. I dont think i'd tell anyone if i saw one, people round here already think i'm a nutcase, best not to encourage em

I was looking to see if there was a pub nearby Calf Hey reservoir that could account for an attempt at putting the area on the map. I used Google maps and other searches. There is a cafe that appears to have just opened when the picture was taken. The date on the image says 2011, but I'm not sure if it was taken this recently or not. So I shall put my cynicism on a back burner for now.

I took a "walk" up Calf Hey Road while I was at it. At one point the Google camera took a shot of a shape in the road that had disappeared the next instant.



I've called it a Boggart. I didn't give it a name, that would be suicide I believe.

On the roof of the car ?

No claw marks at all ?

OH, please - the dog could get on the roof of the car, but the cat (two to three times its size, mind you) couldnt???? Hello???????? I love big cat stories (like the Queen of Hearts, I can believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast) - but I do like fairy tales to have at least a modicum of believability.
