Police and soldiers hunting for a large cat believed to be on the loose near Paris have shut down a motorway service station after the beast was spotted there a day after it was first seen near the Disneyland theme park.

Tiger expert Gilbert Edelstein, from the Pinder circus, said the best response to coming face-to-face with the stripy beast, thought to weigh around 155 pounds, was to "scream as loud as possible."

"Even better, scream in German. The guttural sounds could scare him away," he told AFP news agency.

1. WEll, to be honest..

"Sacré bleue! un tigre!" raises fewer alarms than "Verflucht! Ein Tiger!"

2. They're afraid of Tigger?

3. What other "stripy beast" would be near EuroDisney?! n/t

4. A tabby cat?

I'm try German on my tabby cat tonight and see whether it scares him.

5. A scream in any language would freak my stripy beast out

Just yelling doesn't work - but a proper scream, certainly.

6. Don't these people know anything about cats?

Get the French Army to bring up a helicopter with a thermal imaging system on it. When they figure out which way he's going, stick a boîte de réfrigérateur in his path, and wait till he gets in it.

7. They could easily find this critter:

8. Just turn on a can opener...

He'll come to YOU!
Sprinkle a little catnip around and he roll in it.
Gawd. The French are so stoopid.
