WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

MYSTERY CAT IN NORFOLK

We ran this story a couple of days ago on the newsblog. The general opinion around the CFZ Office is that it is a moggy. What do you think?

My guess is that this is just a big domestic moggy; the statement from the "big cat expert" is a masterpiece of obfuscatory misdirection, too. Holkham is heavily keepered, though and has no less than a team of gamekeepers, not just one bloke and a lad. The place is in Norfolk, so gets hit by poachers, so I'll bet good money that those keepers will be out on a night with NV kit looking for trouble.

If there is a big cat on the Holkham estate, the keepers will know of it (and might even have tried to shoot it) and if asked nicely, might say what they know.

They will also be acutely aware of the damage feral cats tend to do to bird populations, so if that moggy does live on or near the estate, the keepers will know of it, know whose it is and be under orders not to kill it as long as it is a bona fide domestic cat. If it ain't, it won't be seen again.

Very much a moggy judging by the tail.
