QUATTRO:

--- Quote from: draketrutta on September 14, 2015, 06:33:26 PM ---I doubt that - this picture was taken 3 miles from the nearest house.

If it was a big house cat - it sure likes to roam in coyote country.

Gives the "cat has 9 lives" a whole new meaning if it was someone's Fluffy.

I am leaning toward bobcat - like the other poster stated they are circular tracks and no toenail marks in the prints.

Thanks for your input.


p.s. - if it is an uncollared  Fluffy - and I encounter it - should I consider it a FERAL cat?

A feral cat is far from someones fluffy...being that far from a house is not out of the realm of possibility either if you ask me. I have seen some pretty formidable feral cats a good ways out..and they were as much a wild animal as an undomesticated critter if you ask me..especially when the come in from several hundred yards out, in the middle of the night, on a B-line responding to rabbit distress on an Ecaller and get a few feet from blowing up your mojo critter..and lets just say that one must have been on its ninth life.. Track definitely looks feline but at a quick glance it looked too small to be a bobcat.. but then again its hard to scale it I guess and I'm far from an expert..
perhaps if you really wanted to know you could measure a tread feature on you boot and use that as a size reference.. the bobcat track would be larger than a typical domestic/feral cat in most cases...atleast thats my understanding ;)
