Here is a link to the story,

reminds me of that film...



just have to keep an eye on this guy on a full mooooooooooon!

thats the one, pretty interesting. i wannid to go to find it, but it isnt a good idea :s

There's speculation of these all over the united kingdom, from Bodmin Moor(The Beast of Bodmin) to the Scottish Highlands. They're supposedly escaped pets from years ago etc....

yea i have seen loads of progrms about it, but i think it has been sighted by more than one person, and it happened TODay, OS THATS cool, i do live sorta close to that sort of area, sounds cool

haha, i got it. he was looking for his kitty right... IT ATE HIS MIRACLE-GROW. lol. it is closer to me than i thought. here kittie kittie

Like the article sais, and based on the description, it's a panther, not some mystical beast.

i know it isnt a mysticle beast, but here in jolly old england we dont roam around with these creatures, ya barely see em in the zoo :s, it is the closest cetegory for this topic so i put it here. i think it is really cool. i just thought, could it have eaten his kittie?

And if you read the post properly above it never said any of them were mythical beats, they are said to be panthers/cougars/jaguars that escaped from peoples homes/circuses many years ago and have survived on the cattle in the area.

hhmmm, i really enjoy the big cats subject, i have been speaking to other people and some people who have had experiences, they have been interesting. but i am going by the theory his cat ate miracle gro

I once saw some police helicopter footage of one of these cats. They are definitely huge. Not too sure about this sydenham one. He doesn't look that badly scratched in the papers.

This reminds me of the movie "Cat People". Especially this line.

The animal, which Mr Holder is convinced was a panther, then went and sat in the garden next-door, and he called the police

Maybe it is a Mythical beast. Its his neighbor who transforms into a panther. Just kidding but still, You'd think they'd be able to find these big cats in all these years if they didn't just disappear.

Phae

another police officer saw it to,

"I am 6ft and weigh 15 stone''

LOL! This panther looks well startled! The look on its face! Could well be a friend of mine.

''Big C''

that isnt the cat that atacked him :s but they picture was on an article

i am unfortunate seeing as i have not seen one yet, lol. i know it is rare but...come on.....
