A FEMALE motorist travelling to Fowlis reported a big cat sighting to police yesterday.

The woman, who was driving on the back road between Longforgan and Fowlis, had been returning home just after 3pm when she spotted what was described as a large, puma-type cat.

Officers attended the woman’s home address in Fowlis but no trace of the mysterious beast—said to be bigger than an alsatian— could be found.
