Big cat spotted by angler and farmer
A BIG cat has been sighted in Carmarthenshire, along with a half-eaten cow.
A Llanelli man claims to have come face to face with a feline-like animal "twice the size of an alsatian" while fishing at the River Towy near Llandeilo early on Wednesday.
His sighting has been backed by a farmer who says a stillborn calf on his farm was half-eaten a couple of weeks ago.
Forty-year-old fisherman Mark Richards said: "At first I thought it was a dog. It's unusual to see a dog loose on farmland, but this was twice the size of an alsatian, with a three-foot tail arching upwards and a bob on the end."
A local farmer told the Post he had spotted a large cat in the area a week ago. He said: "I've only seen it once, it was sitting on a wall on the farm. As soon as it saw me, it went."
A spokeswoman for Dyfed-Powys Police said: "We haven't had any recent sighting of large cats in the area, but if anyone does see something they should report it and we would advise they don't approach the animal."

“Have you got PMT Lisa, you sound a little bit, "off your head"!
Calm down or you will get your sums wrong. Tell you one thing though; I thank GOD that my accountant isn't as highly strung as you Lisa.”

You seem to have gone from using the 'Queens English' to using Princess Anne's Language, 'Naff Orfff'! You've gone from Dame Heather to 'Dam' Heather (preferably using Lake Windermere) in one go! Or is it that you are the 'missing Lynx' (link(s)) after all!
I note your 'Poetic prose', you must stop reading Nursery stories at your age! Or does the letters BNP now stand for 'Best Neurotic Poetess'!?”

“Whilst you are all having petty arguments - AGAIN - don't you realise that this big cat has disappeared, probably never to be seen again?”
