Is it me, or am I the only one who reads this story and wonders 'what happened to the kitten?!'
BBC NEWS | England | London | 'Big cat' attacks man in garden: "A man has been attacked by a large cat-like animal which jumped out from bushes in his garden during the night.
Anthony Holder said a 6ft-long black animal pounced, knocked him to the ground, then mauled him with its claws for about 30 seconds.
He said 'I am 6ft and weigh 15 stone and it was considerably stronger and bigger than me. This thing was huge.'
Police were called to Sydenham Park in south east London and one officer saw a cat 'about the size of a Labrador dog'.
'Teeth out'
Armed officers arrived soon after and a search of the nearby railway line and allotments was carried out.
Mr Holder was looking for his kitten at the bottom of his garden, which backs onto woodland, when the powerful creature attacked him.
He described how a 'big black figure pounced' and he was 'in its claws for about 30 seconds'.
'Its teeth were out and I tried to defend myself and eventually I got the thing off my body.'
He was scratched all over his body and suffered swelling and bruising to his hand and the back of his head."
