A man says he is 100% sure he saw a huge cat on his driveway in Minchinhampton.
The man did a double-take when he saw a ‘huge black object’ scoot off towards Princess Anne’s Gatcombe Park Estate, late on Saturday night.
The man, who had actually been delighting in a barbecue with good friends in his garden looked out after hearing a rustling sound near his food waste bins.
He said: “At first I thought it was the next door neighbour in her garage but the noise continued for a few minutes.”
The man’s partner went to examine and found the food waste bin had actually been opened: “The bin had vegetable waste and was strewn across our gravel drive,” she said.
The man went back to your home and turned the outdoors light on which partly illuminate the drive when he identified the huge cat.
He said: “The noise started again, and at first, I thought it may have been a cow as they often come by this way. I felt nervous to go out so I stood by the front door and then in a flash a large black animal ran yards in front off me and off our drive – it bounded off and in my mind it was a definitely a big black cat.”
The man checked the bin today and discovered proof of animal hair on the bin.
