Panthers are large ambush predators if one attacked a man he wouldn?t even notice until it was too late.


Lynx however hunt rats and rabbits and such much in the same way domestic cats do so a lynx may have gone for a puppy.


There?s a test on this later children.

I am afraid this is true, well there is certainly some kind of wild big cat around. Had it in my garden once, about 4 years ago!



Eh?? Are you serious? Given that you're not too far away from me, I find this a little worrying. Perhaps it lives in St Francis park and chews on squirrels and foxes?

So what did the big cat in your garden look like? Did it look like a lynx?

It's harsh to judge such an emotive and detailed account but these remind of the sort of 'spring-heeled jack' sightings of years past.


With all of the big-cat sightings over the UK in recent decades it strikes me as suprising that one has never been caught or hit by a car.

    • On the matter of gender, raised early in the thread There were a couple of male tailors in the area, first generation Carribbean, I think there was a time when many emigrated with these skills  Go back 60 years and you may have had a suit made by a Jewish male tailer in the East End  Not sure if it is common to have males in this field of work nowadays although I expect Saville Row is still male dominated.    
    • I was at Brockwell Park greenhouses very recently, they don't have any plants for sale which are suitable for my purpose (though that's not why I went there). I'd be very surprised if the Marsden Road place did either, as I need a fairly large prickly shrub! Thanks, I used the term nursery a bit too loosely, sorry. I did mean including garden centres. Your post is useful, thanks.  I'm not looking for anything unusual though, just a prickly shrub to deter cats! Much as I love unusual plants, I only have a very small garden. Many of my plants (some unusual and some I had had for years) have disappeared due to wood  pigeons trampling everything under my bird feeders in their quest to eat anything edible dropped by smaller birds using the feeders 😭 
    • If you mean proper nurseries where they grow plants and not just garden centres there are several on Woodmansterne Lane just south of Wallington. I prefer going there as you get a lot of plants you don't see in garden centres. The two I go to most often are Flittons https://www.flittons.com/ and Barnes https://www.barnesnurseries.co.uk/. There are a few others on the same road and a large Dobbies if you want a garden centre that sells other things.
    • Went to Nunhead Gardener this week.  Very good selection of healthy plants, indoor and out.
