Big Cat Or Not???



Last year my mother got the fright of her life as a big black cat jumped off the garage roof onto the middle of the garden, then one more big pounce over the wall and away. My mums first thought was that a man was about to attack her coz she said it was that big. There is an air vent up there and we reckon it was trying to get warm as its also quite sheltered there.

Today I was at my mums and she was very keen to show me these huge foot/paw prints in the snow. She beleives its the big cat again. What do you guys think? Personally I beleive her but wondered what every one else thought and if any one had any encounters with the big wild cats roaming our country?

They look like Deer prints, cloven hoof. The last pic could be a Cat, but more likely dog.

Oh well maybe it was wishfull thinking on my part, have been searching animal tracking sites and cannt find anything like them to be honest.
She swears its not dear tracks coz she gets alot of deer in her garden and says they are not as big as these are.
What ever they are I like them LOL
