Big feral cat or mountain lion

We caught this on the Dahua. This is the only site I know that has expertise in identifying objects. I didnt have the PTZ auto tracking enabled. Sure looks larger than any feral cat that I have seen.

By the physique, I'd say it's a feral cat. I've got one here that looks pretty much exactly like that viewed on IR...

+1^^^.
I can barely make out some faint, vertical stripes on the side, visible only if not paused.

Thanks all. I also think it is just a feral cat after reviewing several times but it made me think twice. We have a lot of visiting cats but this one was much much larger and the hind section was very muscular. Moutain lions are supposed to be extinct in PA although we ( and several painters) saw one about 10 years ago- closer that we liked- but it could have been an escaped/release "pet."

At first I thought this was meant to be a funny post because of how big the cat looked, but that is definitely just a cat.

That looks just like our barn cats.

If you have female cats you can expect kittens in a little over 2 months
