The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper column-inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we should have a go at publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in.

WOOLSERY MYSTERY CAT SIGHTING?

This morning, Lars went for a brisk constitutional around the village, and went down to the Community Centre where we hold the Weird Weekend.

He lost sight of it behind a bush. He described it as being black with a lighter underside.
