Falmouth's Weird Creature - Update

This story just gets stranger. Following the initial report of the weird creature seen in Falmouth recently I found another article, this time in the local weekly newspaper The West Briton: which you can read here. Friends of mine in the US have suggested that it could have been an Aye-aye, or a Springhare, but the witness says that both of those animals are much smaller than the one he saw, and they are also unlikely to be able to survive in our British climate.

Over at the CFZ there have been two additional postings on this subject. The first is a very sad one, detailing the possibility of the creature being what is called a Twisty Cat. This is the most disgusting atrocity, as it seems that people have been breeding cats with a specific deformity whereby their front legs are stunted and useless. The post, that you can find here, also includes some pictures of such cats, and they are truly stomach churning.

The second post from the CFZ is an update on their previous one. It tells of their contact with the RSPCA’s legal department to enquire if breeding such cats is legal in the UK. Unfortunately it appears that it is, although it could be construed as cruelty. You can read what the CFZ has to say about that here, and how they would react on finding such a thing happening in the UK.
