It's a little hard to see, but either you have giant grass blades in North Carolina, which I don't recall, or that's a medium sized house cat.

Pretty hard to confirm from that pic. Hard to confirm or not confrim for that matter. Mt lions out here are a whole lot beefier than the cat in that pic.

While deer hunting once, I shot and killed a Bobcat.
When I went to look for it...could not find it. I knew I hit it...then wondered if I wounded it. Was it pizzed and gonna attack me??? Eventually, I found it by stepping on it...it was a bobtail kitty cat...
Everything looks bigger through a Leupold.

Speaking of those crazy cats... Nobody believes that we have them in Illinois nowadays. What do you guys think?

Yep, a cougar's tail is considerably longer and thicker.

I think everybody is convinced that there are some crazy cats coming out of Illinois. Our real problem is keeping them there.

There is only one way to shut up the naysayers. Tie up a house cat out in the sticks with a couple of cameras watching. When the mountain lion shows up to eat the cat, you'll instantly know how big it is compared to a cat.
This is simple math, folks. Jeez, I can't believe that I'm the first one to suggest this common sense approach.

How about this one? Dmpd shot a mountain lion less than a block from my brothers house just last week. Probably a good half mile inside city limits with an elementary and middle school a couple blocks away.

Wow, another exaggerated/inaccurate/wrong thread? Well, guess you can't expect a cat to change it's spots!
