The picture quality is not great, but can anyone take a guess at what kind of cat this is on our deer-cam from this weekend?

We moved the cam this week and had never seen a cat on our deer-cam.

We sometimes have a feral cat that visits but he is small and dark colored.
The raccoons dark rings and dark eyes show dark on the pictures.
I guess bobcats don't have tails that long?

Might not be feral, "intact" male domestic cats, feral or not do like to travel. It could be something else, a Jaguarundi perhaps but those are rare and have rounded ears.

Domestic cat. Due to thin body, I’m betting feral.

Shorty I thought you were joking about the Jaguarundi!! I have lived in the piney woods of deep east Texas for 40 years and that is the FIRST time I have ever heard of them. I better get my outside pet cat tested. He likes to scratch and bite me a lot!! Hah!

I would assume that last short tailed cat will eliminate the long tailed cat if given a little time.
