House cat? Really? Looks bigger to me. I posted this because there is always a debate aboutlions/cougars in PA and this is pretty far south. I just thought that you all would like to see it.
There should be some tracks in that snow,some more pictures with some thing to compare the size to would help.

Sorry I didn't take the pic. Just passing it on. You would think that this person wouldn't grab the camera totake pictures of a normal house cat. The camera doesn't seem to be all that good, the resolution is pretty poor.

I'll say that it looks a bit bigger than a housecat but there isn't much of anything close to the cat where we can get a good size perspective. Pictures can decieve. Especially this kind with a big white backdrop

Jim brings up two good points. First, the tail aint quite right and there should be tracks.

Not jumpin on it either way but the picture raises as many questions as it answers

The size is somewhat deceptive, I believe...

Body proportions certainly suggest a house cat...Look at the vegetation in the background, bull thistles, I think... I don't think it's as big as it appears to be at first glance...

I do believe it's a big ol' house cat.. Sure ain't no pumacougar unless somebody cut half it's tail off...

Thanks for sharing..Interesting picture...

I'm thinken a Sasquatch had him over his head in a helicopter spin and pulled half his tail off.[8D]

I thought the tail was swinging away from the camera and that is why is doesn't appear to be too long. I talked to my buddy tonight and he is going to see if any more pics were taken.

i had a house cat that was that big when i was a kid back in the 70's, it was at least 8" taller and 10" longer then any other cat we had at the time....that picture just looks like a house cat, but not knowing how far from the camera that cat was or any thing close by to judge size....just the shape is wrong to me.............bob
