| I live in WNY just south of Buffalo. My neighbor's chickens have been disappearing. Whatever was getting the chickens was coming over the top of the coop. We went out the other morning and found these tracks. These aren't the best prints but I thought maybe someone in here could help us identify this print that is around the coop. The print is rather lodge for any average domesticated house cat. |

| Looks catly to me, with the rounded lobes on the rear pad, rounded outline of the overall print, and no sign of claw marks. I can't tell from the picture how broad and long it really is. Reinforce the coop, and remove any near-by branches or debris the cat might be using as a launch pad. |
