Choices for this area for a wild cat that is large are that it is a bobcat, or it is a Panther that is so many miles north of its own habitat that it's Utterly astounding and well worth reporting to the fish and wildlife commission.
The photo previously posted was for something called in the photo a Florida lynx, a.k.a. bobcat.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I have been known to be.
However, I have seen bobcats in this area as have several other posters on talk of the villages. Keep in mind that this area has recently been taken over from wildlife. Not that we're not wild.

Editedto say last time i checked which was this year, there were less than 160 Panthers thought to be in Florida and all well south of here.
