No that looks like are Bob cats that we have down here , I really dont know if it was a lion or not . head  stayed in line with body ,they way cats do when there focused on something ,grey colored ,long tail hung dow hind qaurters had that curve or hook in the end with black band. When it flicked its tail iside to side it was more the curve or bottom portion that it flicked  around i. When it turned iaway it walked a few steps on the trail  befor going into woods had what looked like muscular shoulders kinda rolled them side to side and had that paw ,paddle or flip cats do when they walk.

     I used to live in webster county ouside of seymour. had fifty acres for five years. saw mountain lion tracks on three occations, and saw a young lion once, so their around. The only other thing would be some exotic cat escaped from the many animal parks in that area....Brokenhand....Aho.

Sounds like a young bobcat except for the longer tail. I've never seen a young cougar.
For sure, young bobcats are gray. For sure, bobcats have the black ring near the tip.

BTW, young lions are about the same buff color as older cats. The big difference is the black markings or darker spots on the fur. As they get older, up to two years, the spots on the back fade leaving only the spotting on the lighter colored belly and inside of the legs.

Actually the profile fits more of D tillers picture , the only thing is it was a dusky or bluish grey , could not make out the exact faicil features . It was faceing straight at me with its head inline like that picture. I will be going back out this weekend there should be some tracks if this rain hasn't washed them out, I will take camera with me this time if it is still in the area. Conservation Dept did confirm there was one killed by a car in Christian county thats the next county over. I am begining to think it was a lion played with D tillers picture this is pretty close but with a little more gray in it

I watched the show on monster quest and they showed pitchers of jaguars in texas and they said they moving back into the states they used to be native to us but were hunted out in the 1800's
