Default Small Cat-like Tracks in the Snow.....

Anyone know which creature could have made small cat like paw prints on the snow on our deck - the prints are almost identical to a cat print - but much smaller - say a third of the size.

Any ideas?

We have rabbit prints all over our yard - they look a little like cats but smaller and different pattern.

Well, we've had it mentioned now twice in the last 24 hours - I guess you guys are trying so hard to scrape the barrel for a cheap laugh, but now that you mention it again, it was 5 feet not 10, and I guess you'd have to be out of the city, office and out of your own arses to have seen it
