A CREATURE described as 'a massive black cat' has been seen again just days after it was captured on video.

Jonathan Terry filmed the creature, which he spotted prowling the fields to the rear of his house in Trelogan, from his kitchen window, and said it was at least the size of a sheep and possibly even bigger.

Now, there has been a second sighting reported in the area.

The mystery animal described as a "large, black cat" has been reported, just a few fields away from the location.

In a report to Puma Watch North Wales, a married couple described how they were walking along the lane from Glan-yr-Afon to Llanasa when they heard the animal rustling in the woodland to their left.

They were then both able to see the creature "quickly"’ moving away from them.

The witness said: “My wife and I were on one of our usual walks and we believe we may have seen a large black cat.

“We heard a rustling noise in the woodland to the left of us, we both looked and saw the backend of a large black animal moving quickly away from us, it was about the size of a sheepdog.

“We were walking up the road out of Glanyrafon heading towards Llanasa, we both think it could have been the large black cat that other people have reported seeing in the area.”

This encounter took place on Saturday, February 13, just days before the video of a "massive black cat" was caught on video on February 17.

Both of the sightings took place at around 2.30pm.

In his report, Jonathan said: “Seen out of the corner of my eye through the kitchen window overlooking the fields behind the house.

“Filmed as I have been reading about these sightings and it looked far too big to be a regular cat and was more like the size of a sheep or possibly bigger.”

Founder of Puma Watch North Wales Tony Jones said: "The location is within two miles of recent sightings in Talacre and Whitford. Other sightings and incidents reported in the vicinity include those at Whitford, Abakhan and Pentre Halkyn.

"Big cats such as pumas are solitary with a hunting range of dozens of miles. They’re mostly spotted in Snowdonia and the Clwydian hills but reports of sightings in urban locations some distance from these areas are becoming more frequent."

This latest encounter is close to other sightings in Talacre, Whitford, Pentre Halkyn and Abergele.

Due to the spate of sightings in his constituency, MP for Delyn Rob Roberts wrote to the Welsh Government's Environment Minister Lesley Griffiths.

She replied that reports received by the Welsh Government are treated seriously and investigated them.

She said: “The Welsh Government’s policy is to investigate any reports received by the Department for Economy, Skills and Natural Resources of alleged sightings and attacks by big cats on livestock in Wales.”
