The paw prints are the wrong shape for a cat.

It is obviously not a cat.It is a giant sloth, that’s all.

They look nothing like cat paws to me. Has an expert actually familiar with animal pawprints seen them? Maybe they should call Tonto.

This rubbish was on Central News this morning.
Am I the only one to realise that they are actually human hand prints, its just the fingers were curled in so the knuckles landed where the fingers would be…
I am also fairly certain that cats don’t have greasy hands like people do.

Hang on a minute – there’s more prints on the car now – one on the left headlight, and one just under the windscreen…the big cat must be here somewhere…
Truly the WORST ‘paw print’ evidence ever!

Perhaps the big black cat lad climbed onto his bonnet then pawsed for thought. Rubbish i know but Anne, it’s me and you babe.x

Why are the prints not symmetrical? they look like two left paws or two right paws! I think the creater should of been a little more careful.

anything to make life a little more interesting – why not create an urban legend?

It could have been any one of the many animals that live in Donnington…
did the ‘big cat’ leave the 50p as a tip?
If you are going to fake it at least make it look convincing.

Looks more like monkey business to me.

I’m just a little concerned that this chap has mown someone down on the parade in Donnington and these prints are in actual fact some elderly person trying to cling onto the bonnet for the sake of their life!
