TWO women setting up a cross country run have warned dog walkers and farmers to take care after she came across what she believes was a "big cat".
Alison Andrews was heading towards Longrun Meadow in Taunton after setting a trail for hash runners in Netherclay, Bishop's Hull, with her friend Elaine, at around 6.30pm on Monday.
"I said, 'Oh, look, it's a baby deer'," said Alison.
"It was in front of us and jumped over a path.
"It was reddish in colour, but it's tail was really long, which made us realise it wasn't a deer.
"We didn't see its face, but it was definitely a catlike tail.
"We're both dog owners and want to warn others and farmers to be careful."
