This was a Missouri cat that was live trapped. I had no idea as to the size of their paw either. They are magnificent animals.

QUOTE=Requiem;528769]Wow. Big fella!

When I lived in the mountains above the Napa Valley we'd get the cats through the yard sometimes. Never saw one, just tracks, but wish I would have. I'd go for my evening walk through the woods with my landlord's dog for company. Partway home he'd leave me and I'd walk through the darkening woods, sometimes feeling one of those big cats watching me. I was probably just imaging things...

I much prefer the woods of Alaska where the bears are more predictable. Mountains lions scare the *#$ out me with their sneaky ways.

This cougar, estimated at 200 to 220 pounds and over 7 feet in length, was run over when it leaped in front of a pickup truck driven by Arizona resident Marshall Rader on Highway 64 between Williams and Valle, Arizona. It was still alive but mortally injured when Rader and his wife got out to examine it, so they dialed 9-1-1 and waited for someone from the Arizona Department of Public Safety to arrive and put it down. The man posing with the carcass is DPS officer Jason Ellico, who dispatched the animal on the scene and later skinned it as a demonstration for local Boy Scouts.
