A large panther-like cat has been spotted in Wolverhampton, alarming eye-witnesses who have warned local dog-walkers to be cautious.
Police are investigating the sighting in Wednesfield after retired union officer Andrew Hall alerted them to the potential danger. The 55-year-old was on the phone in his kitchen when he saw what he thought was a black bin liner stuck in a tree beyond his back garden.
“But as I talked I saw the shape move and realised that it was a living creature, about as big as a German Shepherd,” said Mr Hall.
“People will probably think I’m a nutter but it was definitely a cat by the way it very tenderly came down the tree and arched its back.”
