Bobcats are rarely seen in my part of the state and I've only saw one in the wild... does this appear to be a bobcat or some exotic hybrid.
Hunting & Fishing Is this a Bobcat?

Is that on a trail cam or is that at your house?
A guy I knew years ago ended up basically adopting one. I don't know the complete backstory but he would walk it around like it was a dog. And if you are at his house in the cat likes you... You better pet it...it didn't like being ignored

They look so peaceful when they are sleeping..:....
In my younger days,,drove a propane truck.
Had a couple who warned me,they had 2 HUGE malomutes.
No biggy,,they we're extremely friendly.
They were extremely friendly
Then told me of the cougar living under the pourch,,,ah ok..?
Don't you know,,about then heard her,,and kittens.
This was around Bailey CO.
Told me she moved in 2-3 yrs ago.
Never bother the dogs or home owners.

You might want to do a bit more research. I believe the Jaguarundi has white on the back of the ears.
Those markings are different than a bobcat. Maybe a hybrid ?
Your local fish and game biologist would definitely like to see those photos

Bobcat, probably a local color morph. Jaguarundis have long tails and highly unlikely in Michigan.
They want all the originals and for you to destroy all copies so they can deny it's existence.
My thinking is that it is some sort of exotic cat or hybrid. I don't think it is a bobcat. Too tame and the white tail tip and white ears are not at all like a bobcat. Likely someone's escaped/released "pet."
A babcat and a jack rabbit with a open sight 22 pistol. Nice
The ears, the color, the markings all look like a Caracal or “desert lynx” to me. Not saying it should be there at all (maybe an escaped exotic pet?), but it really, really looks like it's a Caracal.
If it was recent, they alive trapped one in town that had the Karens on the book of faces all in a uproar. That one was relocated somewhere north in the northern lower.
I am still at a loss why guys hunt fox and bobcats? I love hunting coyotes and they are absolute assholes and I have no issues killing them.
A buddy of mine had a female make a den under his barn. The kittens would come out like clock work when he pulled in the driveway w the diesel pickup.
I was happy w one. Told myself one was enough than had a opportunity to take one w a handgun 15 years latter. Well 2 is my limit unless its a 40 plus pounder...lol
Yes it is a bobcat here in west Texas you will see them with white on the backs of their ears or not , like most animals there are differences
Bobcats Have Eye Spots on their Ears
The black and white marks on the back of a bobcat’s ears are actually false eyes. False eyes are very common in nature and appear on all kinds of animals, from birds to butterflies. Among cats, bob…

Often the simplest answer is correct.
I haven’t skinned hundreds, but the ones I see in MS every year have those same white areas. It’s one of the easiest way to spot them when those white ears twitch.
We did have chickens and had zero issues, my thought is that we just don’t have any predators around, I get that if they are a nuisance but otherwise why kill them?

Hunting predators is great sport. Lion, leopard, grizzly, brown, polar or black bear. Coyotes, mountain lions, foxes, bobcats or wolves. Great fun.
Always regretted that tiger hunting ended prior to my ability to go.
I wonder at the fascination of shooting 2-4 moa steel targets? If folks find it fun or challenging great. For me, I shoot paper and tune my hunting rifles.

Try predator hunting. It'll give you something to hunt year around plus it will sharpen your shooting skills and you'll be doing the fawns and ground nesting gamebirds a favor. I used to enjoy Capstick but I think he embellished too many stories. Stay safe.
Of the bobcats I have seen in daylight there have been color variations.
The one on the wall didn't have the color on the back of the ears but one I saw in the hill country did as I remember.
It didn't get shot since it had not been discussed with land owner.
Some landowners want them dead to protect turkeys and deer, some like to see them roam free.
