'Big cat'
BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West | Policeman takes 'big cat' video
Did they forget the word for dog? :wonder: |
Its funny that the only evidence ever presented is a grainy picture or a background that does not show the 'cat' in scale :wonder:
Its prolly the Lock Ness Monster :D |
That's a cat alright, just look at how it walks - like it owns the bloody place :lol1:
|
I want to know why the guy videoing the cat is panting so much :wonder:

It was a cat but it wasn't that big probably just a big domestic moggy or maine coon |
Which would explain the choosen equipment for filming - best video footage ever , what :confused:
|
Its a rare "Kellas cat".
I saw one myself a few years ago. They are a bit bigger and and have a longer tail than a normal domestic cat. |

These very rare cats were first discovered when one was trapped and shot in 1984 near Kellas in Morayshire. DNA tests have proved them to be a hybrid between a Scottish wild cat, and a feral sub species of domestic cat. They are however larger than both.
There's an example of one in a museum in Elgin. |
As the cat is by the railway, I decided to ask on one of the model railway forums I use if they could judge the size. This is what they came up with.

Defo a Kellas, but quite a big one IMHO.

I think it is a cat the way it moved.
I saw a large cat very similar to that when I was returning from sea trout fishing about 0130 am. I was on my motor bike and when I came out of a blind corner it was sitting in the road in front of me. I did not want to stop so I dropped into second and accelerated to go past it. Its head was about the height of my handlebars as it was sitting. Just as I reached it, it sloped off over the bank hedge and out of sight. I saw it once more in daylight on the way down a long hill and it was in a field high up on my left. The cows were taking no notice of it. I have since met three people whom I trust who have also seen the same creature in the neighbourhood. One is a farmer and he said it was after his chickens. The farmer who owns the field near where I saw it that night won't keep any lambs in the field any more. Les |
Perhaps its a Scottish wildcat (felis silvestris grampia [disputed] / felis silvestris silvestris)? Theyre bigger than domestic cats, I believe, at up to 800mm long, up to 8 kilogrammes in weight and with a shoulder height of up to 350mm: thats a big pussy!
