There is speculation that it was a Maine Coon.

I was only joking...hmm

Was it a hoax I wonder? Did anyone see the news yesterday.
A man was describing what he saw, claiming it was a loin, and his name was ...... Bob Martin. !!!! I happen to have some Bob Martin 'spot on' flea treatment for my cat in my cupboard , makes you think dont you agree ?hmm

Its the only thing that has ever happened in St Osyth or Toosey s its known locally.

annodomini, yes it screamed cat to me, its something about the proportions of the ears to top of head. Even when photos are fuzzy the relative proportions remain the same - and having lived with a big ginger moggy for so many years, dear old William RIP.

It's a cat... and I think the photograph looks as if it was taken with a digital zoom to make it look bigger - a hoax if ever there was one.

Yes, I know, but if it was unkempt....and it was such an awful photo you couldn't really tell the length of its neck!

Anagram, they have longer necks even when sitting down, our neighbours have them.

I thought it looked more like an alpaca! grin

Having seen the photo of the creature, a moggy if ever there was one!Honestly you can tell its the 'silly season'. Shame the police had to spend so much time on it.
