kanny 19,331 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) What I seen whilst out shooting with the nightvision wasnt exactly a big cat but it wasnt a domestic or feral cat either. ..I observed the beast from around 100 meters as it made it's way up a hedgerow I presume hunting rabbits as there was a few along that hedge line ...it was pure black and quiet long and with a thick s tail and a longer head than a normal moggy and a very different gate to anything I've seen before ...our old maggot farm was overrun with feral cats and I've culled plenty in the past this wasn't a feral cat .I watched it for around a minute before it vanished into the hedge not before brushing it's head against overhanging briar ...this gave me some reference for scale the Briar tip came too my lower knee...what it was I don't know but I know what it wasn't.

CushtyJook 1,097 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Seen something crossing a cemetery and flicking the lamp across many years ago also seen a very large black cat that litterly disappeared into gardens not s massive believer to be honest I think the one in the cemetery was a dark fox and my mind was just playing with me as crossing a cemetry and knew I shouldn't of been there the second one I think was just a slightly bigger than adverage fat cat but I'm always interested in other people's stories and find it interesting thinking there might be something else roaming about Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loafer 47 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Why are most sighting's of black cat's ,as opposed to spotted or brown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Why are most sighting's of black cat's ,as opposed to spotted or brown. In the loading, or with a coloured filter on, a spotted or brown cat will look black. There were a few cats shot after the licences came into effect. I'm pretty certain there are no big cats in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
