Out in the forest yesterday and came across this paw print.
It’s large - approx 10.5cm at the widest point.

Big cat or bloody big dog?

If you can see claw prints then maybe not a cat. Their claws are retracted?

Unless they’re running, apparently.

Are there more prints far apart or just that one? Maybe it was on a pogo stick for cats?

Was the only one I saw but tbh I had four dogs with me and my chances of ‘tracking’ were pretty slim!

Go back to the woods tonight, pour gravy over yourself, and when it comes back you can see what it is.
