Sightings Mount In Ayrshire Of Big Black Cat
[Original headline: Mysterious Black Cat Still On The Prowl In Fields And Farmland]
Willing Volunteers Needed To Man Local Feline Hide Out
Big Cat spotters have been busy in Ayrshire once again. A big black cat has been sited on several occasions throughout the district. This week it was seen again on the same Galston farm where it was spotted two months ago. At 4am the lady of the house woke to the incessant barking of her dogs. On looking out of her window, she saw a large black cat preening itself on the grass verge near her lane.
She watched it for several minutes, before she decided to wake her daughter. On her return it had gone.
At the beginning of July a large black cat was seen in a garden at Darvel. The family's normally brave Alsatian first ran towards the animal but stopped dead in its tracks and returned to the female witness. At this, the large cat casually stood up and loped away into fields towards the old railway line. There were scratches on a tree there and hair samples and a fragment of claw or tooth have been taken.
Big Cat hunter, Mark Fraser, said: "We have had a hide in an undisclosed area of Ayrshire that has recently been set up and are always looking for willing volunteers."
