What I didn't see was markings or ears and the like. I was about 150 yards away and the light would not allow that detail so I could not begin to identify it further. But, no doubt in my mind that was a cat.
Big cat- at that size it would have to be a mountain lion one would think. I don't worry about too many animals when I am in the woods walking my dog (135 pound German Shep) but a 140 pound Mountaln Lion would present a problem!!
