Reading the local rag today, learning of the court apperances of all the social miscreants from the 'sunny' town of Wick, my attention was drawn to a report of a local couple who seem to have come across a 'Big Cat' type creature on their travels....
And I quote:-
" A MYSTERIOUS big cat has been spotted roaming Thurso.
Worried walkers watched the puma like creature on a popular footpath in the Lower Burnside area of the town on Tuesday afternoon around 2.30pm.
The animal appeared behind a row of houses before jumping onto a shed roof and disappearing into overgrown wasteland.
Husband and wife **** and ********* *******, of George Crescent, Thurso, were enjoying a quiet stroll along Victoria Walk - which runs along the clifftops from Thurso to Scrabster - when they were stopped in their tracks by the sight of the big cat.
The strange creature was the size of a Labrador dog with a long, straight tail and was brown in colour.
Speaking to the John O'Groat Journal, Mr ******* said: "I couldn't believe what I was looking at. When we came to the end of the path at Lower Burnside we saw what we now take to be a large cat of the cougar species.
"We were looking at an old ruin known as the Bishop's Palace which looks like an old bomb shelter when we noticed it. It was sitting on a fencepost and then jumped onto a garden outbuilding, slinked along the edge and jumped into trees in the garden.
"It wasn't there for long and I don't think it.........."
WHOA! wait a minute, let's rewind there a bit.....
......"It was sitting on a fencepost"?
Can you imagine a 'Beast' the size of a Labrador, or even a Cougar type creature sitting on a fencepost? There wouldn't be enough room for one paw!
"Roll up! Roll up! Come and see the Amazing Balancing Puma....!"
Did it 'Maiow' threateningly? Or was it's purring keeping the local children awake at night?
