This cat is near DFW so it must be a bobcat correct?

Hip bones and base of tail seem more pronounced than usual for a bob, maybe it’s just the angle or just a large/old tomcat.

RifleBowPistol · 01-09-2022, 03:56 PM

Is he thinking he wants rabbit for dinner?

wilded · 01-09-2022, 05:33 PM

TPWD had a special about bobcats living in Fort Worth and Dallas.

Pretty broad for a bobcat, but hard to get size reference from that picture.

Have a non-cropped picture?

Cool video.

TxxAgg · 01-09-2022, 06:33 PM

Bobcat

Look at the back of the ears. The black/white is very pronounced.

Mountain lions ears are similar but not as noticeable.

3ChordTruth · 01-09-2022, 06:38 PM

Bobcat, and up to no good too.

Texas Grown · 01-09-2022, 06:55 PM

Looks more like it's in Joshua to me.

ttechdallas · 01-09-2022, 07:40 PM

If that is a bobcat it looks like a big wide one. They are surprisingly small - averaging 16-25 pounds and less than 20 inches tall at the shoulder. Or maybe it is just the angle of the picture and/or that hutch is not very high off the ground. It's more likely to be a bobcat though than anything else.

Pstraw · 01-09-2022, 10:26 PM

I'll go along with Bob.

DFA · 01-09-2022, 11:34 PM

100% bobcat

They can get much bigger than that.
Looks like a bobcat to me as well.
