I was walking with a friend in Newlands Forest at lunch time, and a person walking her dogs told us that they had been barking at a "cat in the tree" just further down the trail. I immediately thought it might be a caracal, but suspected that it would've moved on by the time we walked past, but 100m down the trail we spotted it. It had just killed a squirrel and was very calmly watching us while it held onto its prey. We stayed there for 10 minutes or so taking pictures, and it was completely unperturbed by us being there, even nearly nodding off to sleep at one stage. A really unique sighting!
