I seen a large dark coloured cat run out in front of me. It then stopped in longer grass turned and faced me for a second then jumped into thicker undergrowth.

This was not a domestic cat it had a large head and was lightingly quick.

Time was 20.30 16/03/2006 just off the A167 Newton Aycliffe which is between darlington and spennymoor
