Big domestic or Kellas would be my guess on that the black leopard type we are looking at are normally over 30” of body alone with almost the same in tail length would have been worth the cost of a dna test just to find out if they hadn’t binned it

Looks just like a kellas or the feral cats like in the tv program that had come from a long line of ferals  that  had a dominant black gene ? They had got quite tall .

If you look close at the pic it looks edited around the neck area to me and surely if you were taking a picture of something you thought was unusually large there would be something for scale in there too?

Simply putting your foot next to it and taking the picture would have helped

22 inches from ears to tip of it's tail is not a big cat I think we all agree on that. But it does look very long in the leg. The media don't help when they start spouting Big Cat at 22 inches theres moggies around here that size.

Your very suspicious of things it’s quite funny really, the guy was an 86 year old historian and the picture was taken 16 years ago, so you have to ask yourself why would an 86 year old set out to deceive everyone then wait 16 years to spring his  coupe it’s more ridiculous than accepting there are leopards in the English countryside, it’s all about probability and in all probably he wouldn’t have been able to lift a big cat into the boot of his car as a dead weight and would probably have struggled getting it in the dustbin he would have also if he wanted to fool people probably claimed a larger size than 22” which is a moggy so in all probability just a bit old and confused

Said in that article 22" from ears to the tip of its tail. That don't seem large I'm wondering if it meant 22" from ears to the base of the tail. that would be a fare moggie.

I,m thinking the same thing it certainly wouldn’t have been worth picturing or mentioning if it was tip of tail the Kellas cat is a feral x Scottish wildcat that seems to be breeding quite true to type the dead one found on the road in Scotland last year was around 3ft long and though the body was quickly cleared away there was enough bits left on the verge to get a DNA sample that confirmed it was a black wild cat hybrid
