Need help IDing track/paw print please! - Updated with 2nd photo!

Since there are no claw marks, it must be a cat of some sort. Bobcat, I guess

It's about an inch or a little more across. I thought it kind of looked like one track on top of the other too, but not sure. I didn't think it was a domestic cat, but maybe? I've had cats all my life although we don't have them now our neighbors on each side both have cats. We tolerate them because they're both good mousers.

I was pretty sure it wasn't a raccoon cause I've seen their tracks before, we had them tip a can of white paint in my parents driveway and walk all over. Still have raccoon tracks on the driveway... I have no idea what the tracks look like for anything else besides that.

Thanks for helping us learn what we're looking for!

edited to add, so would a cat try to dig under a chicken run or do you think the track and the digging are unrelated?

I agree. Two tracks, a little small for Bobcat, wat too small for Mtn. Lion. Pro'ly your neighbors' cats.

We thought it was too deep in the clay for the neighbors cats, they're a little young and light weight, probably no more than 5 lbs. It had to be something with a little bit more heft or else maybe it was when it jumped out of the yard. The print is facing toward the fence, so I don't think it's when it landed. Would that explain the double print and it pressing into the ground, maybe it was jumping out?

Well I guess it is two tracks. I was just thrown off by the fifth toe!

I have always had cats and I've never really seen them dig. Now they will stick their paws under the cracks in the door to get either a toy they lost, or try to get in/out of said room, but that's not really digging.
