Police issue warning after Highland big cat sightings

Police issue warning after Highland big cat sightings

A cat seen in Dornoch at the weekend was described as panther-like. Police have issued a warning to the public after reports of big cats in Easter Ross and Sutherland.

A "large panther-type" cat was spotted walking near Dornoch's caravan park and golf course on Saturday morning. Another member of the public spotted what they described as a "very large, muscular black cat with a square head" in the Fendon area of Tain last week.

Northern Constabulary has asked for any further sightings but also urged people not to approach the animals. In July, a "very large black cat" was seen by a member of the public in woodland at Inshriach, Kincraig.

A police spokesman said it was unusual to have sightings so close together. He said the witnesses were different people and credible.
The first sighting was near a military bombing range and the animal disappeared from view when it entered thick gorse.
