River Severn angler is given rude awakening by 'black cat the size of a Labrador'
A fisherman doing some night-time angling at a Shropshire beauty spot says he was woken in his tent by a black cat "the size of a Labrador".
Chris Abbot, 48, from Wombourne, was fishing on the River Severn in Hampton Loade last weekend when in the middle of the night his fishing alarm went off.
Mr Abbot, a counsellor and former TA soldier, said: "I was camped near the Unicorn Inn at Hampton Loade on Sunday night.
"I had my rods in the water all night and I woke to the sound of my fishing alarm. When I left the tent to look down the steep bank I heard rustling in the bushes."
