Report from George Markie
Yellow cat seen at Cannich
From 'Eyewitness Accounts' in Cat Country, The Quest for the British Big Catby Di Francis, David and Charles, 1983
June 1980, Cannich, Inverness-shire
In June Miss Chisholm received another cat-like visitor near her cottage. But this animal was very different from the black animals she had previously seen. She spotted a bunch of red hinds congregated in a corner of the deer-fence where they had broken it down. Sitting on a post watching them was a dog-sized cat, yellow-coloured with dark-brown markings on its body like rings or stripes. The animal was smaller than either of the black cats that she had seen and she thought it was like a tiger cub.
