At least, that's what members of the public thought when they spotted a 'big cat' being driven in the back of a Volvo and rang police.
Teaching assistant Adam Dobby, 45, was cycling on the A39 near Bude in Devon when the Volvo passed him.
'I noticed a big cat. It was lying in the back and I thought it looked like a tiger,' said the father of four. 'I did a double-take. Its head was moving and was pretty big. It was definitely a tiger.'
Joy Hamilton, and daughter Zoe, 18, saw the 'animal' when the Volvo pulled out of a Morrisons store.
'Zoe was aghast, put her hands to her chest, and did a double-take,' she said.
Police identified the owner of the Volvo as farmer Terry Western.
'Its name is Tigger and it does look very real,' said the 69-year-old, of Clovelly, north Devon.
'It's been in the boot for ages. I keep forgetting to take it out.'
A police spokesman said: 'No action was taken. We encourage people not to carry things that disturb other drivers.'
