🐾 Paw-sitively Bizarre: The Mysterious Beach Cat of Wirral

It’s not every day you stumble upon a giant cat crawling up a hill at night — but in Wirral, England, that’s become the stuff of late-night beach tales.

Locals are scratching their heads (and maybe checking their torches twice) after sightings of a mysterious figure dressed head-to-toe in a black cat costume, prowling around secluded beach spots.

🐱 What's going on?

One woman posted to Facebook after a spine-tingling encounter, writing:

"Heard a man making cat noises… shone a torch — he was waving his arms at me before crawling up the hill. Never been so scared."

Meanwhile, a dog walker who also spotted the feline-in-human-form was far less freaked:

"I think it's just a wind-up. He’s not out to scare anyone — he just likes being a giant cat."

😼 Just a purr-sonal passion?

There’s no clear motive, no name, and no explanation. Just one committed cat enthusiast roaming the dunes for fun.

And honestly — who among us hasn’t wondered what it’d be like to live as a beach-dwelling, moonlit panther?

🧩 The takeaway?

Whether it's a social experiment, a purr-formance art piece, or just one bloke living his best cat life… it’s got people talking.

And if a giant cat ever shows up at Eely Point or Lake Hāwea, don’t panic — just toss him a treat and carry on.
