The discovery of an horrifically mutilated sheep carcass at Norton Bridge has strengthened claims a big cat could be on the loose in Stafford Borough.In recent weeks dozens of Post readers have contacted us, convinced they have seen a panther-like creature stalking the borough. Now Post reader Katie Hill has revealed her pet sheep 'Minnie' was found decapitated two weeks ago.

What do you all think? Any UK members see anything?

Never seen anything myself Johnny, but as with all paranormal phenomena, there are plenty of "reliable" witnesses that claim to have. Everything from Lynx to Lions have been reported the length and breadth of the U.K

Back in the 1970's, before the introduction of the Dangerous Wild animals Act. it was considered quite avent garde to have exotic animals as pets. It's not inconceivable that escapees from private collections as well as those animals released into the wild when their owners realised they had more on their hands than they could cope with may have established small breeding groups.

One thing that puzzles me though is that if there are sufficient animals around to trigger the amount of sightings reported, how come nobody has ever found a carcass or any kind of remains? Still, I keep an open mind on the subject.

As one who regularly wanders the wilds in search of bones to put to use for Halloween, I can say this.

Predator remains (as a big cat would be) are rather rare to find, actually.

One finds prey remains all around, easily. Predators are a different story all together. I've found hundreds of cattle, deer, skunk, raccoon, and assorted small mammal skulls and bones in the last 10 years.

I have found 1 coyote skull. And THAT was only because I knew where that pack had their dens after years of watching.

Not at all surprised no one has found cat remains. There's an area we have dubbed cat canyon. We KNOW there's mountian lions in those caves. Can smell em, see their tracks, see their kills, etc. Heck, we've even seen live ones watching us pick through bones. But, never see any cat remains.

(yes, I'm insane. Big cats don't scare me.)

Huge paw prints have been found in the snow. Many are now asking whether this is enough evidence to finally prove the existence of the ABCs...............

I'm not an expert of course, but these look just like regular dog tracks to me...
big dog admittedly, but dog none the less.
They don't look unfeasibly large when compared to the human footprints alongside them in the second picture.

Now, THAT one looks like a cat print. (the one further up is canine)

But, not an especially LARGE cat, honestly. There are breeds kept as pets that can easily get that large.

[Baron Samedi]

Agreed. I also subscribe to the theory that the recent severe weather across Britain would have made these animals venture further than normal in the quest for food, hence the recent increase in sightings.
