Title: House cat or bobcat?
Post by: hunterednate on September 08, 2020, 10:46:47 AM
We caught this feline on a trail cam we have set up for elk in a semi-suburban area (housecats in the vicinity). My buddies and I are split on whether this is a house cat or bobcat. What do you guys think?

Hunterednate has likely not been around long enough to know the complexity of the simple post he made  :chuckle: :chuckle:!
That said it certainly looks like a bobcat!

Nate, by chance if you do know than even better!!

In Montana that would be a house cat but most places it's a bobcat.

This might be thread of the year!

I think @jackelope still has the infamous picture.


In all seriousness tho this one actually is a bobcat.

Clearly a bobcat... What's the big deal? Its just coming out of winter so it's coat looks lighter than usual. First post is a housecat... Tabby stripes give it away.

I made a mistake, looking at the picture closer.  Ears, feet, and color it's clearly a Canadian lynx not a bobcat!  But too the Op, yours is 100% bobcat

Lost my mind on a neighborhood forum one day for a similar topic, between the people that cannot identify the difference between a Bobcat and a Cougar, as well as the the ones scared out of their minds about the "300" pound yearling black Bear Cub running through the hood!

I'm sure that flashlight rubber banded to his stabilizer was just to help him bloodtrail.
