Looks like a Panther. Could be a Florida Panther, they have been known to show up in other states.

I don’t think Bobcat either because their ears are more pointed and tufted. It has the head shape of a Panther to me.

Love how their harnesses and collars are color coded to the respective dog!
Have fun in Kzoo and good luck!
Are you going to send those to the DNR??? Man... I'm worried about a suburban coyote snatching up a pooch; can't image something truly wild like that prowling around.
This little chuncker weighed 21lbs this morning. Almost twice what he was when we brought him home 4 WEEKS ago...
Rubie and I have our first agility trial on Sunday and I'm so excited/terrified!! I'm worried it's going to be a disaster; Norris is worried we're going to be so good, I'll try and find trials every weekend. That's a compliment if I've ever heard one!

Looking at that chart... with Doberman paws so tight, they look way more like coyote than dog. I always wonder if people see them in the mud when we've been out hiking and get worried.

OMG! You be careful! It looks like a cougar or something and, holy crap, I wouldn't want that out there by my animals. Wow, that's a little scary!!

Picture #1 can be used to determine his height...go measure the fence from where his head is and get his shoulders too...I'd be interested in those 2 numbers...
Now as far as big cats here in the Carolinas...you bet ya! I don't hunt them, but my bud comes across them while Boar and Bear hunting.
Then I was thinking how light it is at that time.

The tail looks normal for a bobcat to me? It's not supposed to be a nub like a doberman.
Identify a Bobcat - National Bobcat Rescue and Research Foundation
When I was looking for reference I came across tips online to deter them. One thing it said is if you have fowl is to put them up at night.
Hmmppttt....I have witnessed these awesome looking cats 6-7 times while deer hunting in Fayette, Mississippi and for some reason or another, I thought the Bobcats I saw had a true nub not a 1/4 tail. Guess I was so caught up in the excitement, I did not pay attention to detail.
Talk about being awestruck and humbled, they just glide through the woods. Many of the hunters got on to me for not putting it down but I have problems with killing animals that pay me no worry.

Obviously we have way too much fun at work. That crab that Bogie was trying to get close to came around to the front door of the clinic so Doc put a slip lead on him and walked him through the lobby. The clinic kitty ‘Mugzy’ was terrified of it. I about wet my drawers laughing so hard.
We have now named him Edward Claw Hands.

I so agree. Why kill something that has not shown human aggression. They are part of the natural wildlife and should be left alone. They are beautiful and powerful creatures!
