Need a size. Take pic with quarter or dollar bill next to it to give scale.

Does look like a cat tho.

Not a cat. Cats toes are rounder and spread out further from the pad, and the pad itself would be bigger in relation to the toes. Asp, feline pads have 2 lobes at the top of he pad, and these tracks only have 1. Canine tracks are often arranged so that the toes and pads look like a clover or fan, as in these tracks. Lastly, feline pads are never "squeezed" like the pad on these tracks. Depending on size, I am going with fox, coyote, or dog. I've seen lots of fox tracks that look squeezed like that in the pad, but without scale, it's tough to know for sure.
