Dead cat on Hwy 90

on the way back from Houma Sunday, I saw a dead cat on the side of the road on 90 in the Paradise area. It was a very large cat (about the size of a cayote, if not bigger)with spots. if i would've seen it sooner, i would have stopped to take a picture. Did anyone else see this and do you know what it was?

bobcat?

Pretty sure it was no bobcat. I have seen many of those throughout my lifetime. This cat appeared to be about 80 or so pounds. A bobcat is the first thing that come to mind, but this was much bigger than any one that I have ever seen.

New dimension

This adds a new dimension, a big cat--- with spots.
Cougars do not have spots and other large spotted cats have a long tail like a cougar.

Did it have a long tail?

Sure it wasn't just a bloated bobcat?

Bobcat

almost 95% positive it was not a bloated Bobcat. I did not get a good look at the tail, but from what I could see of the legs and paws, it was bigger than any bobcat I have seen. Thats why I posted it here, in hopes some other fishermen on the way home sunday had also seen it. I would say, from the quick look that I got, it looked similar to a cougar, but I would not have dared put that on here...I was skeptical to put 'Big Cat', knowing what type of criticism I might would recieve, but the curiosity got the best of me in wanting to know what it was. Now I wish I wouldve turned around to get a better look.

... I see a swollen up coon the other day on 190 that was the size of a hog and I could say I never seen a coon that big before and not be lying ------------back to cats , in the last week I have heard quite a few different stories from different people of BIG CAT sightings between Lacombe and Fountain Blue , mostly centering around Big Branch , my wife tells one of the stories and I could see it in her eyes that she did see something very unusal

    Big cat

    Almost certainly a bobcat. Cougars do have spots or rosettes in their first year though.

    too bad no one made use of it

    you can make great and very warm skull caps or hats from them.

    shame for it to go to waste like that
