Giant cat hanging around!

[Chris142]

We have had a male cat coming around our windows at night checking out our female house cats for some time now.

He is a short hair black cat with a white spot on his chest.
Last night I finally got a good look at him.

He is huge for a cat!

His belly has to be 12 inches from the ground and his legs just as long. Looks well fed and muscular.

His tail reaches the ground when stopped. I have never seen anything like him. Closest would be a medium size bobcat he is that big.

Wonder what breed he could be?

We had a Maine Coon mix one time that was huge. Never seen one tuxedo. Ours was a gray tabby.

We do to. He's not that big but im sure the reason nothing has unalived him is because he is so big.

Outside cats don't Last long here.

Those big cats are impressive.
In Gardnerville, NV, where relatives once lived, a HUGE puma left its 8" wide footprints in fine snow around their house.
We have bobcats on our side of Lake Champlain and catamounts (great name) are now spotted on the Vermont side.

Ha-ha, maybe that's why kids don't play outside anymore?

Our mouser killed one of our collared doves that supposedly mate for life. Kind of a bummer -- I feel bad for the lone dove now!

I hate those stupid kitties-from-hell... Here's Missy Blu.

Meh. So do we.

Same here. People let their cats out at night then they disappear and they put up signs "missing cat" with a photo. I tell wife I've seen that cat up in the field in the coyote poop.

You probably know Los Gatos butts up to the Santa Cruz Mountain range. There's a creek behind our house; the coyotes use it as their highway. My cats stay inside.

might be a bobcat/housecat hybrid?

You have to be careful with Cougars. There's one in the living room, but I seem to have earned her trust.
