A while ago l posted some newspaper cuttings about a pet puma kept by a local chap in the 1970's. It was never proved but it seemed likely that it had been briefly on the loose and responsible for some horse riders being frightened . This incident is still included in the list of big cat sightings in the UK . By chance this week l did a job for an elderly couple who still live next door to where the puma was kept and was given a bit more information. Apparently the owner also briefly owned a lion that was kept on a chain in the front garden. Both cats eventually went to zoos but not before their owner's house had been burgled. The burglars were undaunted by the fact that the puma was loose in the house at the time . They were caught after daftly boasting that after the thing had licked them they decided it was safe to carry on with the robbery!

Darwinism? An African guy in a nearby sleepy Sussex village had a lion . My brother knows his son ; I'm going to try to remember to ask what happened to it. I'll leave it to my brother as both Father and son ,and probably the lion were/are pretty "hard" characters! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,495 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Possibly a melonistic serval or some other small wild cat used to produce these designer cats again without scale it’s just a cat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
