Ours, a 'large black cat possibly a panther', has been seen around one of the areas I walk in. If I should meet up with it I will empty my camera bag climb in a pull the zipper over my head. The explanation for the many big cat sightings is that a few years back the law was changed to prevent British eccentrics keeping them as pets. Rather than turn them over to a zoo or have them put down they took them out into the countryside and released them. Our eccentrics now have to content themselves with less dangerous pets to take for walkies although this could be rasher :-) http://www.geebeephoto.com/2005/05064.htm --Graham
