Here's a humor website that has a shading optical illusion just for fun. http://www.eatliver.com/i.php?n=7805 I know you're thinkin'-Huh, this person has a sense of humor?

Quote: The obvious answer is that you are not seeing stripes but an optical illusion of stripes. Every tabby cat I have ever seen has more pronounced horizontal striping on its front legs and none are apparent on this animal--only a vague mottled stripiness that may be from wrinkled skin from...

Quote: I have arranged the photos with number, your assessment of the animal's id and timeline starting at zero for clarity. I think that given the time stamps, it is a bit of a stretch to have 3 different animals (or even 2) all the same general build and size switching places with one...

Quote: Looks like somenones pet Sphynx.

Quote: Here are the photos in question as ideal examples of matching coat color and tail position, this is what come up when I open the browser so please let me know if yours are different pictures and download the images that are correct and post them: p15 top left coat color: to my eye...

Quote: Thanks for the #, it's the first pic that comes up when you click on the link. The reason I didn't think it was THAT picture is because that cat doesn't have its tail in the same position as the OPs animal does..... not even close. Here is the pic...

Quote: I used to be on team cat, but put my prejudices aside and have gone over to team gray fox. Everything about the animal is consistant with the fox except for the fluffiness of the tail. Because fur is an outer covering and can puff up, be flattened and even fall out or become longer or...

Quote: Yup and if you look at the series of photos on that MO site--you can get some prospective on how large a small animal looks when there is nothing to compare it to especially at a distance and how small it actually is when compared to a known animal. That "cat" in OP's third picture is...

Quote: Thank you for the link! I love the silhouette of the different cats. I wonder if the OP is very crafty, they could make a silhouette of a house cat/gray fox size and see how it visually matches up. Its one thing for me to measure saying its 13 or 14 inches high and 40 inches long and...

Quote: Thank you for your very detailed analysis! I am so glad you had pointed out this technique and think your background and training in visual analysis are just what is needed to help us out with this sort of ID. I have found that an outside eye is really helpful to point out things on a...

Quote: Hey, I thought you wanted to post pictures and were interested in contributing more than just an opinion. It would be extremely helpful for you to provide photos of your pelts and I just thought that matching the lighting woud be more demonstrative of the identification. If you want to...

Quote: Wow, thank you so much for providing this photo of the cougar! Was this one you got on your own game cam? In looking at the color pattern of the known cougar and it appears more uniform than the one on the OP's game cam where there is more of a difference in contrast between the...

Quote: Concur. A group of us including very small children, were hiking in Waterton Lake Park one summer (Canadian version of Glacier). We came across some fresh scat and were musing about its owner when a deer crossed the trail in front of us, looked at our party and kept going. Then a bear...

Quote: Sean, to post a picture go to uploads and follow the directions to download the picture from your computer. Even better would be to take an additional photo of the pelt with infrared night-vision so that the coloring would look similar to the game cam. Perhaps you could put it in front...

Quote: There is a pretty good video on this website: http://www.desertusa.com/video_pages/du_gfox1.html that shows two gray foxes moving about and they are very cat-like in their movement. The tails are not as ridgid as a 'normal' canid. I think this, along with patient guidance from...

Quote: Hmm, interesting. So are you a scientist doing research on the big cats? What types/breeds of dogs are you using for your research/hunt? I actually think it would be very helpful to the conversation to see photos with measurements of your skins you have. We have determined that the...

Quote: let me guess,you are a dog person.lol Ok, I get it now. I do have a dog and a cat, but I think I should get my coffee on board before I check out your thread

Quote: Exelent pictures indeed. Still, I'm amazed at the ability of this animal to trigger five photos without showing it's face once. Hope the camera is still out there catching more photos. put a piece of christmas tinsel over the game cam if it is feline you will see its face if it is...

Quote: I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but where do you live that you see and track cougars daily? Are you in an area where they are that plentiful and do you have a compelling reason for tracking the cougars? You are saying that you have seen them in Georgia. You need to provide us...
