You know what I find really weird? In 2003 when we saw a big black cat in Scotland I tried google for more info as the paper said we'd been the third lot reporting it in our area.

I did find the other Scottish sitings, but I also found that during the same few months there had been panther sitings in New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, Northern Ireland, Germany and several places in England and Scotland!!

Either this cat logs up frequent flyer miles BIG time or there's something really odd going on!

PS - there was a case 4-5 years back of a postman in South Africa being attackedby a leopard in a rural area. He beat it to death with a roadside stone. Amazing what adrenalin can do for you!
