CRYPTOZOOLOGY ONLINE: Still on the Track: 06/07/17

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: Wednesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

I strongly suspect that everyone in the UK, and quite a few people from elsewhere in the world, will have tomorrow’s election as the focus of their attention. There are also almost too many events on the world stage to count, and so because my head is beginning to hurt keeping up with it all, today I am going to write about something else entirely.

Last week, I put out an appeal for proofreaders, who would be interested in working on forthcoming CFZ projects. I was very pleased with the response that I got. If you wrote to me, please don’t be offended that I haven’t written back. The lovely Olivia and I will be writing to you all later today.

But guess what, kiddies? I’m on the want again. We are working on a major book project about yeti sightings in Soviet Central Asia, and Chris, who – together with Lars – is running this project, has pointed out that we will be needing a whole string of maps. Is there anybody out there reading this who likes drawing maps? An amateur cartographer? If you fancy becoming involved in a fascinating and absolutely unique project, will you please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk? As always, I’m afraid, we are not in a position to pay people, but you will get a free copy of the book, a credit within, and the satisfaction of knowing that you are part of a unique undertaking.

And now, here is the news:

* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 57 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention Archie and the Cats?
