Yep.  We have one too.  It's called The Beast of Bluebell Hill. Curiously, it only ever seems to be spotted by people returning from nights out early in the morning (hmmmm -  :Crazy: ?).  Usually it's described as being black and about the size of a labrador (so, it's a black labrador then?).  I read somewhere that Kent is supposed to have a breeding colony of various big cats happily cross-breeding with each other.  Personally, I file this sort of thing (eg crop circles) under "loony crap that the papers endorse when short on stories".  We have a very large stray dog (looks like a greyhound/borzoi cross) who has been in the area for a couple of years.  He can't be caught because he is too wily and ranges right across the Rochester area, only at night or in the early morning.  I very occasionally see him (3 or 4 times a year) as I leave for work and walk a mile and half to Rochester at about 5am.  I think he may well be taking cats, as a couple have disappeared recently - not sure what can be done about him as he ranges over such a wide area.  I suppose his luck will have to run out at some point.

Wow.

My sister saw the fen 'tiger' one night in Cambridgeshire.  She finds it hard to believe anything like this until an enormous cat with a massive tail strolled in front of her car :scared: She though it was a panther.

Cats are like little bundles of razor blades wrapped in soft fur.

Puma on loose in Margate?

We had an email from our lost & found saying there is a missing cat out of our area in Palm Bay, Margate. The owner is worried as there are reports of a Puma-like creature in the area  :scared:
