Still Waters Posted July 29, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2009 PC Chris Swallow, who is based at the Faslane naval base on the Clyde, took pictures and video using his mobile phone after spotting the animal.He initially believed he was looking at a Labrador crossing railway tracks from a friend's garden in the Churchill Estate in Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire. But he decided to investigate closer and said he was "stunned" by what he saw. "The animal wasn't moving the way I expected a dog to. It was then I realised that what I was seeing was a big cat," said PC Swallow, who is a trained dog handler. Read more... Looking at the video, it's difficult to tell just how big this cat is It doesn't look all that big to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshark Posted July 29, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Looking at the video, it's difficult to tell just how big this cat is It doesn't look all that big to me. Since panthers are either jaguars or leopards. I'm saying with confidence that, that is a domestic cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckys_Mom Posted July 29, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Either that is an over fed overgrown blacktom cat...or some tw*t has gone and opened the cage of a panther LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetacea Posted July 29, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I thought it looked quite small and kept thinking it was moving all wrong for a big cat, I might be wrong or biased from too many documentaries were you see them slinking through the undergrowth but it's just all over the place and not as cautious as I would expect an animal shy of humans and human habituation to be. I've never really seen a big cat walking with the tail held so high either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted July 29, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) It looks just a little bigger than my Cuddles, but not by much. I have seen a Florida Panther and when you see a big cat you know it they are big, very big. You're right, Cetacea, big cats don't carry their tails like that.

Queen in the North Posted July 29, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) I showed my father the video-- he works on the railway, so is a good judge of the size of the creature in question. Considering the gauge of track in the UK, he said that it was a big cat, but not a Big Cat. Edited July 29, 2009 by _Libby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
