We lived on that Avenue before coming here, just over ½ mile away, but I doubt we'll see in on the 'front.

Probably just a huge tabby. We have those in Southend!

[Baldric]

oh dear me, the media do like hyping things up don't they?

[cupid04]

Yeah, lol! Beware!

I hope it's left alone and nobody tries to trap/kill it. We had a huge black animal near our village and everyone kept quiet about it so that trophy hunters didn't turn up.

Soz forgot to wave. Cupid waves ;-)

Neil Arnold is a very interesting speaker.

The reason I favour it being a Maine Coon is that I know the area very well, we lived on Hampton Pier Avenue until April last last year and we're only about ½ mile away now.
It has the Sea on one side (Seaside) and the other 3 sides are well developed/populated areas for quite a distance all 'round.
