Alright all...
Driving home from work and saw a good sized cat on the side fo the road....too big for the farm cat. Pulled around and got confused in a hurry. Weighed 19 pounds on the fish scale from my tackle box ( 'bout time it got some use this year...) It had a bobbed tail around six inches in length. The pelt was more of a sable/buckskin color, and had very little variation or pattern. There was no ear tufting or bearded appearance that I would have expected in a bobcat.
This cat was lean, and well muscled. I have been looking at pictures of bobcats on this website for a long time....and it didn't look like a bobcat in the traditional sense. On the other hand...I've seen alot of feral cats, and it was way to big to have been one of them either.
sorry...no pics. I went back with a camera and the cat was gone....less than an hour later.
and no.....I don't think it was a bobcat-mt. lion hybrid /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Thoughts?
