so i am to assume this is not about a fat lass called catherine? and more along the lines of an "OMG ITS GOING TO EAT MY HANDS" kind of big cat?

after watching that video....pay attention to how long the "lion" is behind the stairs, it re-emmerges from the other side almost instantly, might just be cut to shorten the video, but im skeptical, it looks to clear on the image compared to the rest of the surroundings

So it's not Kitten Kong then?

I'ts a figment of your imagination, you know they don't exist, that's what the police keep telling us. Good footage at last though!

looks more like a large terrier type dog - it looks like that kind of head

probs a cross breed

I'm with @HaleStrom - that video looks faked to me... unless it's a glowing tiger [very bright compared to the scene, barely any shadow], and it decided to speed up for a split second when it was out of view... also maybe it's just me but the perspective seems all wrong on it's head when it passes the two bars with a gap between them on the right...

It's fake. Shame the police didn't try and sedate it:

The cuddly toy that fooled cops

As the author of the video (straight off our CCTV systems) I can assure you the video is real - the part where it cuts out is due to (I assume) the fact that the CCTV systems are on motion record. There was no motion while the "lion" was behind the stairs, hence it stopped recording.

Oh Dear - someone better tell @Little-Miss.. Don't want Dexter to be eaten

[Little-Miss]

lol!!! Thanks Gatt!!!

After watching the video i better warn my parents cus its closer to them!

[HaleStorm]

the motion record would explain it, as theres no motion when its out of view behind the stairs...are they IR cameras aswell? that would explain the glow-ish-ness

[CHR1S]

video gone?
