very hard to see but based on what i see yes. i cant see the tell tale m on the back pad and no claw marks so i say yes.

Looks like it. Where do you live?

I just had a question? Is it true a cat track had kinda a crown look to it compared to a dog. looks like 3 humps on the back of the track and a dog track has a smooth line around the back. I dont know how to really explain it.

You've got the idea. The toes are more a line of 4 across the front of the pad. Cannine are kind of a slightly squared pattern of 4 in front of the pad. You can draw an X in a Cannine track without touching anything. You can't in a cat track.

Lots of longtails North of Spokane.
