"I think it's a big cat. I sent the image to a website called My Big Cat Sightings and they think so too. I have actually seen a big cat before - it was a panther in a town called Worksop about 20 years ago. It was on the crest of a hill with a rabbit in its gob. The only other cat I get on that camera is my own black and white domestic cat. To get anywhere near the size of the one that's on that image, my cat would have to stand on a log."
"I said 'that was a big cat', I was quite excited. For me, it looks like an animal the size of a Labrador, but I believe it is a cat species. We had a big village debate in Allington - some people think it's a lurcher, some people think it's a big cat, some people think it's somebody's domestic moggie."
A trail camera set outside a home in Allington, Lincolnshire, used for releasing hedgehogs, recorded a large animal that triggered local attention. Driving instructor Barry Raynor, 65, identified the creature as appearing the size of a Labrador and believes it to be a cat species. Neighbours debated whether the image showed a lurcher, a domestic cat, or a big cat. Raynor reported a prior panther sighting in Worksop about 20 years earlier and sent the image to My Big Cat Sightings. The existence of a wild big cat population in Britain remains unproven, with isolated captures often attributed to escaped or released exotic pets.
