What kind of animal is this? Fox? Cat?

    This one was more difficult than I imagined. It really looks like a cat, but there seems to be a distinct black patch on the tail - which leads me to believe a bat-eared fox. I'm sure someone here can figure it out.

    Good job narrowing it down. I lean toward wildcat, just because it's more cat-shaped and the bat-eared fox really has big, noticeable ears.
