Not buying that a wild cat would in broad daylight stroll across a open space like that,near a busy property,

I would guess either a large domestic cross or a escaped/dumped exotic pet.

Take your point about it being unlikely for a wild cat to be near a busy property. But not impossible. Just think of urban foxes for example. Melanism is one of the commonest colour morphs in all species so I don't think it's surprising to find a black puma just surprising it's the first one! The head size compared to neck length is puma and the tail staying the same thickness not tapering at the tip says big cat as well. Best footage I have seen just a shame it's in the puma's natural range not taken in UK ?

Not a trick or anything. I will tell you all later just wondered if you fancied a guess

[Greyman 28,850]

With no size comparison I,m suspecting a red herring and looking at the grass I,m going to say domestic cat
