I think that crypozoology is a fascinating topic.Paul Tobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732771806819029077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670369139890322768.post-29868655850575127032013-04-15T20:35:16.622+01:002013-04-15T20:35:16.622+01:00That's really interesting, Rena, to hear this ...That's really interesting, Rena, to hear this from someone who really does have big cats living wild nearby.

Which is to say, if you have a big cat in residence, there's usually evidence. They have to eat something. In the US we have Fish and Game to keep tabs on the big guys as they move closer to inhabited areas, but even then, these big cats come through (drink from the swimming pool and everything) and surprise neighborhoods. <br /><br />In the Isles though? Why not. But I would expect other evidence. I hate saying it but big cats eat little cats, and little dogs, and anything that's slower than they are.

Last year I tried to set up a Big Cats database for Jon Downes, which works on some browsers but not others - <a href="http://www.cfzresources.com/database/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cfzresources.com/database/</a>. If you can't get it to work, there is a video on YouTube - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uTkWa38cu4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uTkWa38cu4</a>.Andrew Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073306343984931484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670369139890322768.post-29440039529538662502013-04-15T10:44:59.384+01:002013-04-15T10:44:59.384+01:00Miaou!I think I would prefer to remain a domesti-c...Miaou!I think I would prefer to remain a domesti-cat! :)catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
