I just put my magnafying glass on the pic (I'm old ya know)...I think I see a long tail.... However.... The markings on the left front leg leave a question mark in my head. I have also heard of Bobcat's being born with like 6-7" tail...... I dunno. Be interesting to see what "The Jury" thinks.

At first glance I thought fox, but Im usually never right and upon close inspection, I cant tell what it is.

I dont see any tail and if your thinkin its draped around in front of him, cats dont move like that...If a cat is moving along like he is the tail would be straight out the back (stalking) or straight up in the air (seeking attention or marking)
It looks to me like the tail is straight out, about 6 inches long or so, but it looks kinda bushy which makes me think fox..but then the body is built way too much like a bobcat, so i dont know what to think.
Sucker has some bright white teeth!
Seriously though, I think it's built like a cat, and the way the head is shaped looks cat like.

My initial thought was like Buckslayer: fox. More I look at it, I suppose it could be an ordinary cat too. Tail is a little longer and bushier than I would think one would find on a bobcat. I am far from an expert though.
I would get my hands on some cat-nip and fasten it tight on that tree cluster. Put it about 18" off the ground.....In a week or two, you should have a better pic or two.........

Ok I can see where your seeing a "tail" - I didnt realize I had to slide the big picture over, lol , my bad. But those Large back haunches and legs tell me its still no fox and no Ordinary house cat.

I'm gonna say fox. The bobcat distinction of color in the face would definitely show up somewhere around the head area or some type of spots on it's body. The bushy tail and longer legs makes me believe it's a fox.
You can see the tail much clearer in the 1st enhanced picture, in that picture i wanna saw its a yote, but the 2nd enhanced pic tells me bobcat. It is Meigs county, maybe it's a crossbread lol

gosh you guys, those legs and paws are way to sturdy to be a fox and in working with dogs and cats for over 20 years...thats a cat body.
