TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS

The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. 

There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. 

The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.

    The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
    It's Sunday, and mildly hungover, I sit at my computer
    to write a page of stupid rhymes that I hope are going to suit ya
    just like I do every week, but now I've got good news my friend
    we can confirm that Syd and Bob are coming to the Weird Weekend
    Syd telephoned me late last night whilst I was in my cups
    and watching The X Files with Mama while taking frequent sups
    from a very large brandy and coke I was holding in my hand
    but after the horrible week I've had I hope you'll understand
    I always write the Sunday blogs in badly metred verse,
    mainly cos it amuses me (trust me it could be worse)
    and then I take my Sunday off and believe me it suits
    me to sit down and read a book or just look at my newts
    So when I've done these Sunday blogs I may go back to bed
    or I may sit in the garden and just read a book instead
    or maybe go to Huddisford and take the dogs and Mother out
    But I'm probably just going to doss around and do absolutely now't

There are also new shows from the wonderfully eccentric Jaki and Tim on their Submarine, from Canterbury Sans Frontières  and from the multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and salamanders from Toulouse (OK, no French caudata, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT'S ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
