16/5/06 - A couple of days ago it was a nice day so I decided to get off the bus early and walk back home because I didn't have any homework or anything to rush home for. I went the usual route via the golf course so I could roll down the hill. I had heard the big cat rumours from around the course and its golfers but I wasn't scared. I love cats and London zoo had denied they had an escaped animal so I thought nothing more of it. I thought the golfers were all just making it up for some publicity stunt to get more members to join as they had been talking about a cat being seen up there.

I never thought for a moment it was maybe real, I was sure it was complete BS. Until I saw the yellow eyes glaring at me, but I've never seen a cat that big. 'He' was either poorly or not a panther at all, 'he' was mangy like a feral fox like the ones that visit Linda's, but 'it' was about a 100 times bigger than a fox, 'it' was grey and the eyes were not catish in any way. The 'thing' looked more like some sort of love child between a wolf and a panther. But not cute and fluffy at all 'it' was really fugly. I remember 'it' had a lump between 'it's' shoulders 'It' was obviously scared and poorly but what could I have done? I thought I was brave until that moment but instead I nearly cried. I thought I could cope with 'it' and if 'it' looked like a cat I could have but 'that' was not a cat.

27th May 2006 - I bumped into a guy called Mike and his buddy George who were playing golf on the course. I told them about what I saw and asked if they had seen 'it'. Mike swore he saw "the panther from London zoo" but he said 'it' didn't look like a cat either. His mate said we were both mad but I knew, and he knew, and we both believed each other.
