It's not just here; there was an item on Radio 4's "Today" programme about a scare in some place near Stroud, with a bloke imitating - very convincingly! - the snarl/yowl of some giant mog that he'd encountered.
So convincing, in fact, that a listener e-mailed in to say that his two pedigree cats had been terrified by the sound and had stood tranfixed in his kitchen with tails like toilet-brushes ...
Any reports that the H.G. giant cats make blood-curdling noises as they skulk the suburban back gardens?
