According to the French-language crytozoology blog, it hasn't been seen since 2003, and it's the size of a domestic cat. The photos in the the blog post seem to date from Jan 2011. Matt Salusbury

Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

"Bay Cat" is also one name for the puma (New World Mountain lion)used in South America. In this case, it is a variety of South-Asian Golden cat, and the general type (not necessarily the Bornean one)is something I had suggested to be at the base of many Australian ABC or "Cougar" sightings. They also regularly have a dark or black colour phase, can get much larger than a house cat, and have the general body conformation much like a puma (As you can see from the photos) although it turns out the two are not closely related according to more recent genetic studies.
