shvar, I don't get what you are saying. You're not really saying the cat is in the tree are you? If you are, you're not serious are you? The cat is on the countour of the land back there which we can't really see clearly but he is silhouetted against the sky which both makes him look larger (like the moon on the horizon) and it makes him look black because of backlighting when he could be any color. Try to find the Monster Quest episode where the the alleged black panther in WV is proven during the show to be 264 yards away and 24 inches long. Yet even I have to admit that when viewing it, I get the feeling it might be panther size.
I also want to say on parting with this thread that there is something else about this picture than convinces me it is a housecat. it is the way it is sauntering along, very upright (you can see daylight under it) and like it is its home turf. A cougar, if it were bold enough to come that close to houses, would be moving rapidly through the area in a posture more low slung and with head and neck extended forward. If anyone is interested I can post pictures of cougars on the move and you can see what I mean.
