What is this?
« on: March 30, 2019, 11:39:23 PM »
A relative of mine got these pictures near the edge of his piece of property.it was taken in western washington near the coast, off the beaten path. There are neighbors close by but as far as he knows its not anyones pet. Wdfw said it was a dog. I'm definitely not an expert but to me it looks like a large black cat of some sort. What do you think ?

Wdfw said it was a dog.

Thats ridiculous, its clearly a domestic cat.  This is why people have no faith in wdfw.  How are they supposed to confirm a wolf depredation when they dont even have the ability to differentiate between a house cat and a dog.

tail seems kinda short to be a cougar.  I think fluffy haired domestic (or feral) cat.
