I’m sure it identifies as a mountain lion.
My cat Calvin is about that size or maybe even bigger. He has blue eyes, so I named after Calvin Coolidge.
In my town one of those roadside signs was flashing warning of a mountain lion spotted on a local street, about 20 years ago. Turns out it was almost certainly a bobcat (not uncommon hereabouts) though there was a stray mountain lion killed in a traffic accident in Connecticut about 100 miles from here around the same time. The mountain lion was traced back to Montana, and had apparently drifted across the country.
A woman called the police when the bobcat frightened her, and the police recorded it as a mountain lion sighting. There is a large tract of land nearby, hundreds of acres, that was used for whatever purpose during World War II, that is still closed off because of chemical contamination. Must be a wildlife haven.
Reminds me of the “Walmart Bighorn Sheep”. Went to Walmart one time and saw a bunch of young Walmart city kid employees staring into a van. It caught my curiousity so I told my wife I had to go see what they were so interested in. I took one look and knew what the situation was. But I stuck around a few minutes to listen to the comments coming from the kids.
“It is a Bighorn sheep”
“Bighorns are a protected species”
“This is illegal”
“It is too cold out here for that animal”
“I called the cops and they should be here soon”
“This person should go to jail forever for this”
As I started to walk away chuckling the motorcycle officer pulled up and stopped me from walking to question me.
“Is that your Bighorn Sheep in that van?”
No... But I sure wish it was... Because this is going to be fun. lol
Turns out the owner of the van was just transporting a common livestock barnyard Goat for some reason and dropped into Walmart real quick on the way by. Nothing illegal at all and just a Goat NOT a Bighorn Sheep.
Holy cow! How in the heck does ANYONE mistake THAT for a mountain lion? Self-aggrandizing drama queens, more like. Searching for their 15 minutes.
It’s South SF, same people who think they see Hitler anytime they see Trump.
Turns out to be, people with mobile phones.
Turns out it was just Hillary Clinton.

Not even about size. The shape is different. A cougar looks like a roided out cat. Shrink it down and it still looks different.
Had to be a cringing liberal to imagine that kitty was a mountain lion.
I had a bobcat stroll through my backyard last year, and at first glance thought a medium size dog had somehow gotten n.
No, just a decent size bobcat on patrol.
Because libtards are stupid
That looks more like a Molehill Lion.
