from wikipedia:

[greenock's] most bizarre resident was covered in an article by The Daily Telegraph in recent years called "The Catman". He is a man of about 60 years who lives in the wild like an animal, travelling barefooted on his hind legs. He has been seen by many and his diet is made up of wild animals he has caught. However the local population occasionally leave food out for him. He has been taken in by social services before for mental illness but he was deemed uncurable and was released.

Never heard of him before. Do you remember seeing pics of that guy who lives in the wilds who is covered in tattoos? That scared the hell out of me when I saw it.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Monday, 13 March 2006 00:16 (twenty years ago)

aaaahhhhh!!

but, surely travelling on your hind legs is what humans do? does it mean he goes on all fours?

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 13 March 2006 00:16 (twenty years ago)

Don't you just love our countries leave care to the community policy.

I had a vivid nightmare last night about a big black talking cat scratching me. Probably your fault, RJG. Only thankfully it wasn't the Catman. It was a lot more like Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 13 March 2006 10:43 (twenty years ago)

Also in the News of the World apparantly. I expect they had their usual sympatheitc approach to mental illness.

There's much discussion here...

Is this Catman>

NEW FILM SHOWS MAN WHO LIVES LIKE MOGGY

MIAOWS about this for a mystery? We've a funny feline we've seen this character before . . .

The fur is flying after the discovery of this amazing video - said to be Scotland's mythical CATMAN

We've previously revealed how Greenock is alledgedly home to a man-sized moggy who walks on all fours, lives in a filthy sewer pipe and feasts on RATS.

But despite a police probe, many dismissed the tall tail as an urban myth - and the sightings as the work of a hoaxer.

But new incredible footage of a shady figure on the prowl has emerged this week, re-igniting the debate.

The video was shot by teenagers on a mobile phone camera near the Greenock bus depot where Catman is said to sleep. In the digital footage - shot in day-time on barren wasteland - the filthy figure of Catman is shown on the floor as a youth tells him: "I've nae food for ya."

Rat

He then asks: "Catman, are you nae cold? How did you end up like this?"

The man - dressed in a bedraggled blue fleece - just stares impassively with wide eyes. The boys then ask: "Is that a rat, is that yer wee dinner?"

The balding hermit then lunges and grabs the lifeless rodent with his TEETH as another youth - referred to as 'Iain' in the minute-long clip - arrives at the spot.

Catman, his legs coiled behind him, seems worried and turns to flee, but the first youth adds: "Don't worry Catman, that's just big Iain, he's cool."

The strange figure then seems to PURR and gives a big thumbs-up as the youths laugh and the video ends.

A 33-year-old local engineer passed the clip to the News of the World and said it's the talk of Inverclyde.

He said: "Like everyone else in Greenock I'd heard all about Catman. People are told about him when they're little. He's like a modern-day Bogeyman.

"I was told he speaks only in grunts and lives on half-empty tins of cat food left out by people worried about him."

One teenager said the clip has also made its way around local schools.

The 18-year-old said: "His eyes are terrifying - pure mental. He looks in a really bad state. The rat in his mouth is bogging. I've heard he hunts them in the sewer pipes and gnaws on them."

Catman is said to live in an old sewer pipe on wasteground behind Wilson's Bus Garage in the town.

Most sighting of him in recent years have occurred in SCott Street, a narrow cobbled lane where people regularly leave scraps of food.

Depot drivers regularly claim to see him clambering beneath buses - seemingly to keep warm from the exhausts.

One local girl told us last night: "The drivers let him sleep under the buses.

Eyes

"I saw him the other day. Someone had flicked a fag end away and he went scampering over to it on all fours. He seems to understand people. When you ask if he's OK he puts his thumb up. You can see in his eyes that he understands."

In our original story in February 2000 we told how Catman had been befriended by local Ross Wilson, then 13, who told us: "I've seen him munch away on rats and fags."

The lad even passed us a snap of Catman wearing a blue fleece - the SAME top he's pictured in here.

In Ross's snap the body warmer appears clean-ish. But six years on, it's grubby and worse for wear.

Last night a Strathclyde Police spokesman said: "We always thought this was nothing more than a rumour.

"Buts if it's true, it's a good story."

i lived in greenock for 18 years. i have never seen catman, though ive heard of him and know people who claim to have seen him. i have no idea whether this is a hoax or not.

i had no idea it was newsworthy.

also: yeah, no one in greenock would say 'are ye nae cold'. they would just throw things at him. and laugh.

This may be the same man who used to go round the garages and workshops in Greenock in the early 90s with a shopping trolley* collecting empty lemonade bottles for the deposits.

The speculation on the Morton forum that he was brain damaged from a kicking inflicted by the police rings a bell somewhere, I'm sure my Dad told me about someone he once knew that ended up a gibbering wreck thanks to Strathclyde's Finest.

I know a few lads who live in that area (and who possibly post on that Morton forum), I'll ask around and see what I can find out.

This may be the same man who used to go round the garages and workshops in Greenock in the early 90s with a shopping trolley* collecting empty lemonade bottles for the deposits.

Is this the same guy that was in the papers who got barred from supermarkets for bulk-buying stuff on discount that had two-for-one multi-save offers so that the shop ended up paying him for taking stuff off them* (he also did some other stuff to piss off the supermarkets, but I can't remember any of the rest of it).

*this actually works, by the way. Once in Tescos I bought two punnets of strawberries. They should have been £1.99 each, and they were on a "buy two for £3.00" offer. Except that offer just made it ring through the till as -£0.98 after you scanned two. So when the shop helpfully reduced them to 49p, I bought two punnets for 98p, got the 98p discount. Result = two free punnets of strawberies.
