From what I could see of your picture, it looks like either a part-Coon or a poorly-bred Coon. No bobcat there!A bobcat would have longer legs than that (unless those long legs esp. hind legs are hidden by deep vegetation). My guess is it’s a cat.

Totally looks domestic to me.
Hard to tell with the nighttime pic, but it looks like the fur is very thick, and a short to medium length (not long) with ticking. To me, the short, thick fur rules out a big Maine Coon. Also the tail is not a bottle brush like a MC (I think, again hard to tell from pic). So I’m thinking it’s not a MC, and indeed not even a domestic cat.
It does have certain bobcat-ish tendencies, like those round ears and the thickness of the limbs. I would guess a bobcat/domestic cat mix. That would be unusual but not unheard of. A woman I used to know had a Siamese that was impregnanted by a bobcat. She said the cat had trouble birthing the kittens because they were large.
I would think a bobcat/domestic mix might be trouble for small pets, but probably not for children unless they run after it. Post more pics if you get them!
Chupacabra. I know. One bit my sister in the moose.
Looks like a regular tabby cat to me.
That image got JPEGed, so the resolution is gone.
That’s not a bobcat.
RE: the image -> I uploaded the images to Fliqr.com, referenced them, and even with I had included the exact height and width, still seemed to lose about 2 out of 3 pixels.
Re: ‘Tortie’ - hah - never heard that term before. Could it just be a really really big tortie that's not primarily coon ... yeah, I'd believe that too. But I saw one just like it 2 years ago, and I did a double take. Everything is just off about this cat ... and I've had cats all my life.
OK will read the other post .. FYI - beautiful cats posted.
OK I’m all caught up on posts.
1. Thanks for replies so far
2. Beautiful cat pics
3. I’ll post the lot of the pictures later today w/o editing them at all.
3. Chupacabra / Moose - this is not a political thread. please leave Nancy P and Hillary out of this.
4. Long limbs - agreed. Other pictures have the cat sitting and you get a better idea of limb/muscle structure.
More later- thanks ...
It’s got a tail, for crying out loud! There’s another cat just in back of it. It’s just a regular cat. They were visiting in a back yard somewhere.

Over to you Slings and Arrows. :)=^..^=
Looks like a cat to me.
That is a domestic cat.
I have a coon cat and this looks like my cat.
