Have You Seen a Big Cat on the Prowl

Peterborough Evening Telegraph: 5th June 2008

Peterborough Evening Telegraph
   
Big cat sightings around the city are nothing new, but has the so-called "Beast of Bretton" gone south?
Evening Telegraph reader Michelle Esposito has been in contact to say her husband is the latest to catch a glimpse of the elusive creature . . . this time near Yaxley in ther early hours of Monday (June 2)
"He was driving back home along the old A1 (London Road) between Hampton and the Yaxley brick pits when a large animal the size of a dog ran across the road in front of him.
"It was dark coloured and was the shape of a large cat - not quite as big as a panther but about the size of a medium dog.
"He could tell it was more cat like by the way it was running. Is there a large cat i.e. a puma in this area? Has anyone else seen anything?

Do you have any information on the above reports. Were you the person involved, or are you aware of any more sightings in this area. We would appreciate any information that you could give us.
