I remember a TV programme about so called big cats roaming Britain. One witness was adamant that he'd seen a black puma. Now, I've never heard of a puma being black, although some other felines have black varieties. I wish the programme makers had asked a puma expert about that. Has anyone here ever heard of one?
That's interesting. I've seen articles published where shelters were promoting black cats, because people didn't want them. Maybe it's a regional variation. Some people are supposed to think black cats are unlucky, but others say they are lucky, so I think that would cancel out. I think if there is a prejudice against them, it's because people see other colours as "pretty."issiandarchie+68 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 3:12 pm Mary.. apart from Armand (my hubby rescued him from a nasty piece of work) we have never been able to adopt a black cat, over the years every time we have applied to Shelters, we have been told there are none available and have come home with much wanted but definitely not black animals.

A lot of people were saying it was one of the more convincing ones, there was the tree for scale and the proportion of head to body size appeared right.
Then the postman remembered delivering a life sized toy panther to the house a few weeks beforehand and the hoax was out.
