Help Identify These Animals (Can A Bobcat Breed With a Domesticated Cat?)

<p>I know some people will have their doubts but I swear this cat was over 45 pounds. &nbsp;I saw it and was like. &nbsp;Wow there is a bobcat. &nbsp;Then I saw it had a long tail and I was like, "What is that beast?" &nbsp;You guys have to trust me on this one. &nbsp;I wouldn't have been snapping all these pictures if it was just a house cat walking around out there. &nbsp;This thing was really big. &nbsp;It didn't make sense and I figured it had to be some kind of hybrid between a bobcat and a domesticated cat. &nbsp;I started looking into that and couldn't find any instances where that had actually been confirmed. &nbsp;Has anyone on here bred a bobcat with a domesticated cat?</p>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/bobcat-hybrid256a47.jpg" width="800" height="454"/></p>
<p>What do you guys think? &nbsp;I pretty much know all the cats that are in Arizona. &nbsp;There are Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Ocelots, and there is actually the <a href="http://www.kvoa.com/story/31134245/video-of-jaguar-in-tucson-released">only Jaguar in the United States lives south of Tucson</a> and has been captured on motion sensors cameras. &nbsp;</p>
<p>I know that this was none of those. &nbsp;Bobcats usually have pointed ears and short tails and the markings are different. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/bobcat-hybrid-wall09138.jpg" width="800" height="558"/></p>
<p>I apologize for the blurry pictures but I couldn't get a clear shot of it. &nbsp;Here is the last one. &nbsp;Again believe me when I say this. &nbsp;I wouldn't have been taking pictures of a regular cat. &nbsp;This thing was huge. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/bobcat-hybrid-wall298ba3.jpg" width="800" height="525"/></p>
<p>Any ideas of what this cat could be? &nbsp;</p>
<p>Also another animal took over the spa. &nbsp;It looked very poisonous. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/pit-viper0288f.jpg" width="800" height="574"/></p>
<p>What kind of snake is this? &nbsp;I'm scared to look it up because I of course rescued it out of the spa and released it which means it might somehow get into my house. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/pit-viper21cbcb.jpg" width="800" height="584"/></p>
<p>In this picture it was coming straight for me. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/pit-viper36b676.jpg" width="800" height="502"/></p>
<p>Help identify this pit viper! &nbsp;Tucson, Arizona is a scary place! &nbsp;</p>

You just never know when a snake is going to take a bite out of your sack around here.  :-(

A wild cat?  They tend to be bigger.
They have a fluffy tail.

But a wildcat is just a bobcat right?  University of Arizona's mascot is a Wildcat but it is a bobcat.

Nono, actual species of cat, can't be domesticated and is getting very rare(Felis silvestris, but i see that it doesn't live in the US?), cause of breeding with housecats, but there is also a domesticated breed that might fit the description, Maine coon.

Yes, this is a typical example of what Felis Catus Felidae (common domestic cat) looks like when it grows up in the wild. Usually about 10kg and about 1.5-2 feet to the shoulders. These critters wreak havoc in the wild in Australia. They grow so big because they hunt every day and eat fresh, organic raw meat, it's the combination of the exercise and the good diet. They eat the whole animal, by the way, fur, feathers, bones, guts, every last bit. I intend to get some cats sometime, and when I do, and I won't do it until I can do this, I am going to be feeding them whole fresh rabbits, quails, guinea pigs and the like, and I will be making sure they have ample cat-furniture so they can exercise as hard as they want to.

That thing is a beast! I wonder how it has roamed around in the wild like this all this time untamed and uncaught by animal control.  That does make sense though that it has became a beast from eating fresh meat.  That would be awesome if you had a beast of a cat like that and fed it fresh rabbits, quails, and guinea pigs.  I bet that beast here has been feasting on the quails and rabbits out there!

The snake- was the banding more red than in the photo? Could it be a type of milk snake or a sandsnake? Depends on where you are - or what has escaped from your neighbours snake collection!

Yeah the banding looked pretty red.  It could also be a Ground Snake.  It looks like those live here and have a lot of different color variations.

I'd go with Maine Coon - we have one ourselves and he's right here now trying to help me type! He is pretty big too.

Very glad we don't have snakes in New Zealand.
