Well, the neighbor says it was larger than a housecat. I don't know. I do know that a few minutes ago I saw a house cat, (big, but definitely a house cat) in my back yard, same coloring. Didn't have the "big cat" look that the other one has, but who knows. It skedaddled when it saw me. Could be the same animal. If I see it again, I'll try for pics.
