I am very familiar with bobcats, usually seeing several per year on my route. I also recognize cougars, having grown up in the Pacific Northwest. Last week I saw some sort of cat that has me puzzled. I know the possibility of a cougar/bobcat cross is remote, however I can't come up with any other explanation. This cat was about 2.5' at the shoulde with a long lean profile and a tail about 18" long with a white tip. The body was tawny gold in color with a few dark spots. The face was broad and flat with rather pointed ears, but no tuffs of hair. It was in no way alarmed by my vehicle, when I stopped to get a better look, but in fact stared back at me before taking a few steps closer to the woods, then casually looking back and pausing once again to look at me. I got a VERY good look at this cat and have no idea what it was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
