Urban areas are heavily poulated by domestic cats, foxes, rats, mice, squirrels, pigeons etc. Kittenz, I appreciate your comment, but prey is abundance in the UK to support populations of large cats.

It would be nice for people to be civil, but as we know, that's not possible, it's ufology all over again.

What made this person so sure that the cats were bigger than a Labrador? The account does not say that the cats were ever close to the dog, so how did the person make the comparison? In all likelihood these were a couple of common cats. Sometimes, in areas where they are native, big cats stray into suburbia, but those are cats that live in outlying rural areas, where there is prey to support them. There just isn't a steady enough food supply in an urban area to support a big cat.

I would also assume that people like Di Francis would have a little amusement as not being classed as a full time big cat researcher here in the UK.
