Does Sherlock Holmes have a panther?

Sherlock Holmes does not have a panther in any of the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

* He does have a dog named Toby in the story "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire."

* He is also known for his keen observation skills and is often compared to a panther due to his stealth and intelligence.

It's possible the idea of Holmes having a panther might come from fan fiction or other adaptations of the character where creators have taken liberties with the original canon.
