i was just smoking a cigarette out of my bedroom window in melksham, wiltshire looking towards a big green leading into fields and what looked like a big dog jumped down from a tree and ran really fast across the tree into the field. dogs dont climb tree's and it was to big to be a domestic cat.

I am very serious, that I have seen one of the cats that you described above. It was near my school drive and was sandy yellow in colour with a darker tail. Help

on the way back from seeing my grandparents we were just outside pewsey when two large black cats crossed the road. they where about the same size as a large labrabor with long curled tales and yellow eyes

I live on a sheep farm and one night we were coming home from tha pub at about 10pm when we were just going up our drive and a big black cat jumped out of a tree and saunterd across infront of us is stopped in the middle of the drive way and then dissapeared down beside the river. Scary or what!!!!My Dad and my brother went out to check the sheep this morning at about 9am and they found a fully grown ewe dead on the floor with its neck compleatly eaten and nothing else on its body eaten. Whats more when they came back to collect the sheep at about 4pm the sheep had been moved about 4 feet in to the bushes!!!!(6/6/09)

in 2002 in chippenham wiltshire we were taking a walk in the woods when we saw a large black cat that looked a bit like a puma there as a lot of us there and we all saw it.

8.30am, 17/01/09. Ploughed field off A36 near Codford turning. Thought it was a big black dog till it turned and ran. Stretching out it had a round head and small ears, typical big cat tail - curved and slightly fatter at the end.It was full sized, like a panther.

i saw a sandy coloured big cat-like creature while me and my uncle were walking our dogs across a field in Bacup. We would not have seen it, but we carry a torch s there are no lamposts. We saw the reflection of it's eyes first and once we both realised what it was we ran away as fast as we could.

Whilst walking my dog a few years back in the wilts countryside, I saw a large black cat very clearly. It just turned, looked at us and calmy sauntered away...incredible! Didnt believe it until I saw it, now 100% sure!

went to Bristol in the summer of 2003, not sure what the place was called but could see the top of the severn bridge from where I was so looking at the map, it was prob somewhere around Hallen .. It definately wasn't a dog and was too big for a pet cat, it was just walking in a feild next to a fence, I watched it for about 5 mins before it ducked under the fence and disappeared ..

With regard to Mrs Box, me and my brother also believe we have seen large black cat running across a field near Hartham park about a year ago! We have also found the dead remains of what appears to be a sheep around the same time.

earlier this week, i came out of my driveway when i noticed a large black cat in the field opposite. i stopped beside the road and it looked directly at me. it had yellow eyes. it definately looked bigger than the ordinary domestic cat

On Easter sunday 2007 at approx 1550 near Hartham park, we saw a big black cat running at speed across a newly ploughed field.My husband and his friend are police officers and I am CSI so you could say reliable witnesses.!!We watched the cat for approx 5/10 seconds as it raced across the field..

Driving along the Shrivenham to Ashbury road I saw a large black animal which had a very large black tail, it slowed down to go through the hedge in front of me. It definitely wasn't a dog and it moved stealthily and low to the ground. Sadly I did not see the head closely enough, but my gut instict is that it was a large cat such as a panther. This was in the daytime around 4pm.

In the late summer of 2006 I saw a large Black Cat in a field near Quemerford, I'm without doubt it was a cat and bigger then a labrador! I find it hard to accept but I watched it for up to a minute before it slinked into the cover of woodland. I did not imagine it as my wife saw it too!

Whilst driving near towards westbury, what appeared to be a big black cat jumped from one side of the road and with one bounce cleared the road and into the hedge the other side.

large black cat with very long tail too big to have been a domestic cat slowly walked aross my path as I was cycling on the outskirts of chippenham in the countryside it was about 100mtrs away and crouched down to go under a fence this was when I saw its very long tail stretched out over the path it did not see me and did not seem to be in any hurry it also had a long stride it was about 10-55am 30/10/06

Alan @ Westbury
In the summer of 2005 while travelling by train near Bathampton I saw a large black cat like animal running across the fields. It was too large to be a domestic cat and wasn't a dog.

I saw a black cat last thursday 28th Sept 06 in ogbourne st andrew whilst walking my dog. Third time i've seen one.

Sam Blake
Yes I've seen what looked like a panther in the West Woods near Marlborough in 2004. At the time I thought it was an animal spirit of some kind, as I knew I had definately seen it and it wasn't my imagination, but I didn't think it could be physically real as it wasn't an indigenous animal. Now I wonder...

About 10 years ago we saw a big Puma like cat in the fields surrounding the Village of Purton.
