pesky1972 5,261 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Obviously inconclusive as the prey can't be positively identified to provide scale, but for me it's almost definitely a cat eating an ostrich. Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh_red 4,644 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Just got this, a woman filmed it in her neighbours garden, it looks like a ginger house cat but apparently it was around a meter long and is actually eating a grey house cat, it's on a news feed called ham and high if anyone wants to read it or add a link Look very much like tail feathers under its paw. Im in the cat camp on this one sorry Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,644 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I've never seen a cat take bird . Are the feathers everywhere from the kill or just messy eaters? Link to post Share on other sites

BGD 6,436 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Honestly the only way anyone could look at that picture and not instantly recognise it as a ginger moggy eating a pigeon is because they want it to be a "British Big Cat" so much they'll make excuses and ignore what's actually there in front of their eyes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Navek Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Greyman id love for there to be BC roaming round England,,, really I would ,however that last picture is a ginger house cat eating a wood pigeon ..you can see on the end of the cats tail it has lighter rings round it ..the wood pigeon black tail feathers can easily bee seen.... I have seen a cat eating a wood pigeon in my back yard which I shot with an air rifle and there was hardly any feathers on as most the time a pigeon is caught by a cat there are feathers everywhere due to the struggle..but if a cat finds a dead pigeon there are hardly any feathers ......I'd love to find big cat prints somewhere In England...I too would be out every day with a camera trying to get that ever elusive perfect picture ....then I'd get a 243 and bag me englands first trophy BC Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Tasmanian Tigers always fascinated me, be great if the reports of small populations still surviving were proved correct. Sounds like the plot of a Willem Dafoe film. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
