The Escaped Giant Cat

Recently spammers have started to include random words and phrases in their spam to try to evade spam detectors. This one includes two stories - an arsonist, and an escaped giant cat. I would be quite interested to know where it comes from.

Some suspect it is a stray exotic pet because it seems to like being around people. But the feeling is generally not mutual

This one appears tame, Smith said, but could be dangerous because wild animals are unpredictable. People should not approach it, nor should they run away from the animal since that could provoke a chase. The best thing to do is ignore it, keep away from it and call the authorities, he g to tales circulating the wooded neighborhood off, the animal walked up to a man as he was swinging his toddler in the back yard. The cat is said to have lunged at the child. As the story goes, the man fended it off with a chair, his wife grabbed their child, and they ran into the house. The cat sat on their back deck for a while looking in, just like at the In another tale on a different street, a teenage baby sitter was at the backyard pool with an 8-year-old boy and his cousin. The cat sneaked up on them from behind, and she jumped into the pool with the boy. They swam to the other side, but it followed them. They all ran into the house, and the cat sat looking in the door.
