    I think it would be much more unlikely there is a breeding population in the UK.

    I wouldn't doubt it as I've seen a puma, I don't think there would be a huge number but there is a lot of remote bush here.

    I've shot a couple of hundred cats over the years and most ferals are bigger, rangier and have a square bottom jaw.

    You could imagine only the biggest toughest, smartest kittens/cats surviving in the wild as we have a huge fox population.
  12. Aussie Whip
    Most of the cats on farms here would be twice the size of most street cats in the cities.

    That's an interesting one. That's what is surprising scientists but 200 years is a lot of cat generations and it's pretty easy to breed for size in a few gens.

    I was told a couple of years after this that a circus train had crashed near Lithgow back in 1940's and the only animals caught were elephants. Obviously the one I saw would be a descendent. We also had a very suss place called the African lion safari near Sydney. After it closed due to poor managment there were many sightings of African lions around Penrith for years. This is only 80km of dense mountains from Lithgow.

    I think if we were around in 200 years they may be classified as one.

    Not true big cats but they might as well be, what would you call them?
  17. Aussie Whip
    That' s what they reckon, it was shot by a Sambar hunter.

    They are but I have seen a puma as I said. The feral cats here are becoming a big cat in their own right, they are big, they are cats and dangerous. I know a farmer who cornered one about 15kg in his chicken pen and ended up with 40 stitches.
  19. Aussie Whip
    Yeah feral cats.
  20. Aussie Whip
    Yeah, you can tell straight away.

    I was pig hunting up near Lithgow when I was young with three mastiff/ bull terriers. They were experienced dogs. They were walking just ahead but close as they did till they picked up pig scent. The dogs stopped and came back to me and I saw a red shaggy furred animal through the thick tea tree on a rise. I thought a red stag but the dogs were used to deer and ignored them. I swear they were shitting themselves. If this thing scared these dogs I wanted no part of it as I only had a knife so I walked back the other way. I don't know what bear or lion smells like but it was a strong smell. I'm

    I don't think they get big from eating them it's just they are big enough to kill them. We don't really have big predators here apart from crocs and dingos in some areas. The cats seem to be filling a niche. There are pics of huge ferals shot, one around 35kg.

    Blokes over here in Victoria went to the trouble of importing trained big cat hunting coonhounds from the US after seeing what they believe was a black leopard on many occasions. As far as I know they came up empty for locating the cat but the dogs have found their way into some pig dog lines. The feral cats here are getting huge, almost a new species, killing wallabies and small roos. I can see how the average person would be fooled but if you know animals you can tell right away.

    Doesn't look a bad type of kelpie, you wonder why they are rehoming. Some are hard to live with without work or not enough. The farm behind me had 6 which weren't worked enough and would start barking on their chains at dusk and finish at dawn. Half a k away and it was unbearable. ?

    I've seen a puma up close when I was camping, bow hunting about 30 years ago in the mountains not far from Sydney. I was cooking some chops on dusk on a camp fire when I saw a tawny animal pacing behind the fire, thinking it was a dingo I picked up a big branch to chase it off, As I got close it ran at me and I realized it was a big cat, I think it was trying to scare me from the food rather than attack. I went and got in the truck and it went back into the bush. I've seen a lot of pics of " panthers" which are just really big ferals, usually black. I'm always open minded now about sightings b
