UPDATE: Third big cat sighting
Tuesday, 4.30pm – BIG cat sightings keep on coming with a reader reporting seeing “a very large black cat” in Chapel Drove, Holbeach Drove, at 7am yesterday.
Judy Drew said the creature was much bigger than an ordinary cat and a resident in the area says he has had pheasants stolen from his shed.
Tuesday, noon - A SECOND big cat was sighted in South Holland yesterday (Monday) – just four days after mum Louise Gann spotted what she thinks was a black panther in a field in Holbeach.
Company environmental manager Jeremy Greaves found a big cat in his garden at Sutton St James at about 6.30am.
Mr Greaves says the animal was a “browny” colour – about as long as a Doberman dog – and his horse “half-bolted” as he lead it into the paddock.
• Police have warned residents who see big cats to keep a safe distance and report sightings to them or to the RSPCA.
