Can you help me identify these tracks? Sorry the photos are terrible but it was so bright out with the sun on the snow that my glasses got so dark and the phone screen got so dark that I couldn’t even see what I was photographing. I need to change a setting on my phone and keep forgetting to do it til I’m outside and it’s too cold to stand there and mess with it.
I’m pretty sure this is cat tracks and it probably wiggled a bit and then melted a bit so I doubt (or hope not) that the cat is as big as this print looks.
I took a picture but you can’t see the tracks but this is the side of the house. The windows towards the back are right at ground level. Boots likes to sit in those windows and those cat looking tracks go right up to that window.
What is this? Deer? Dragging feet through deep snow? The weird thing is that our front . . not really a flower bed but a raised bed of some sort . . is about 2-1/2 feet tall and these tracks go right up into that area. In Nevada, we had deer that would come sleep against our house in the winter . . maybe it was to block the wind or it was warmer because of heat escaping from the house or maybe the bricks hold the heat from the day. I have no idea but these are weird tracks.
The scariest tracks of all . .
Granny tracks! 🙂

The first photo look like cat as I believe I see claw prints. The 2nd could be rabbit.

Oh, I have seen rabbits. Thanks!

I think it’s cat tracks. The ons spot looks like it paused and the tail went down to make that long looking mark behind it. We had a spayed female that layed on a shelf in our basement next to a window. A male used to come and back up and spray the window. Our cat didn’t like that and would growl and hiss with big eyes. I am sure your cat can sense the presence of another cat.

I nearly spit my coffee on the computer screen when I got to the scary “granny tracks” — too funny.
Judy Laquidara says
It was scary out walking through that snow. I’m not used to it!

I also think the first is car tracks. Back foot seeping into the same track as the front foot.

I didn’t expect to see “Granny tracks!” No idea on the other tracks. Thanks for showing them to us.

They look like cat tracks to me and they could be just a big house cat or they could be something wild. There isn’t anything to compare them to as to how big or small they are.

I looked up animal tracks at the library many years ago – before the internet. Most books should tracks in mud and snow. They look different in snow. The heat from their feet cause the snow to continue to melt, making the track much larger. My mysterious tracks turned out to be squirrel!! LOL
