A Victorian Government investigation has concluded it is "highly unlikely" there are wild big cats living in Victoria.
No Kitty!!

It's official! There are no big cats in Victoria. Just oversized feral cats.

Interesting that it's the opposite of a well known report done for NSW some years back. Well, the opposite until the report was officially released that is.

From the ABC link (above post):
"It found the most obvious explanation for reported sightings of big cats was that they were large feral domestic cats."
Feral cats that leave 8 cm wide paw prints, please.........

I'v seen one big black ferel cat in east gippsland it was I guess about twice the size of the domestic moggie.
Given the right positioning it could look bigger but it was not going to give an 8cm paw print though.
Other big black cats in Vic are likely to be powered by a V8 and of brittish decent......
