Wild Cat

Wild Cat or Catamount, a wild animal belonging to the same family as the domestic cat, but of larger size than the latter. The European wild cat once common, but now seen only in the most isolated regions, has a very long body and legs and a short, thick tail. Its fur is yellowish-gray, with a dark marking down the back and other dark stripes on the sides and rings on the tail. In the United States the name is often applied to the lynx.
