The frantic owner of a 4ft-long, semi-wild Savannah cat has urged the public not to approach it.
The half-feral exotic pet has been missing from a neighbourhood in Bristol since Tuesday after escaping from a special enclosure.
It is not dangerous according to owner Laura Page – but could get spooked if people approach.
She said: “He will run if people approach him, so I just want anyone who sees him to contact me and not try to get him.
“He’s part-wild and will be afraid of people and loud noises. Please don’t approach him or try to catch or coax him in – he’s fast.
“He has a loud pitched meow, which is very distinctive.”
The missing cat weighs in at more than 25lb – as big as a medium-sized dog.
It is a hybrid breed between a serval African wildcat and a domestic moggy.
The cat has a blue collar on with Page’s mobile phone and email on it and is chipped – but to an address in the USA.
If anyone sees the distinctive cat they should text Page on 07983 852889.
In the past, the RSPCA has urged witnesses who come across such animals to contact the police if they have concerns for their safety.
If an animal is injured you can contact the charity directly on its 24-hour helpline on 0300 1234 999.
