+1 stevomcd

If you look at the size of the cat vs the size of the rails and crossties, I'd vote for large, domestic cat. Big cats I have seen (admittedly only 2 cougar in the wild) walk with a much more deliberate, intense movement and very seldom in the wide-open like that--ane they keep their tails down low.

TJ - nope.

I'm with busydog, if it turned and walked across the track, it would comfortably fit in the space between the rails twice over. That space is (approximattely) 4 feet wide.

There have been reports of big cats round here (northamptonshire). Never come across one and I completely forgot about it til this thread!

Googling shows that a lot of them are spotted along Brampton Valley Way - I ride this occasionally as it's really close by, and now am a bit tempted to give it a ride tomorrow out of curiosity ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
