Field Notes

Description:

Small, wild, great spots, large paws, large ears, amazing eyes. Not doing well.
Found on the side of the road, mountains, 900 M above sea level.
I thought it was a kitten but when someone posted a bob-cat, it looks just like it. Could someone help to ID this cute cat?

This looks like a maine coon. I saw a bob cat recently and they are big and have spots on their legs. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/212116059 BTW sorry this did not survive. You did the best you could. R.I.P dear kitty.
Thank you for the ID's, TylerHake and sjlehmann. It looked a lot like my lovely domestic cat, Princess Kitty, I adopted in California, USA, she travel with me to come live here in Costa Rica, she is spayed, everyone that see her tell me it is a Maine Coon Here in Costa Rica most people have domestic short hair cats, that is one of the reason I thought it was a Bob-cat.. : (
No when it was found it was full of flees, skinny, hungry and it cried a lot, I did all I could for about 3 days, but it did not make it. It was so very sad, I was going to adapt it.
Gorgeous kitty! Did you or someone adopt him/her? :-)
