Eyewitnesses agree it is dark grey with white patches, huge paws, long legs, a long curved tail, spiked-up fur and a wolfish appearance.
Witnesses have likened its colouring to that of a snow leopard, There have been five reported sightings of the cat in the last few weeks by several different people, all in the Valley Park area of Chandler's Ford.
It has been seen strolling across a sleepy cul-de-sac in the middle of the afternoon, raiding bins and even patiently waiting on a traffic island in a busy road for an opportunity to cross.
