Well what ever it is , dont buy it as it wont be allowed in this country . The sellers in France and at 4 feet , it might be a leopard . Its hard to tell without a close up of the head . Rick
It resembles the Geoffry's Cat from South America (Oncifelis [felis]geffroyi), but is too small, unless they grow larger than I recall. It could be a Fishing cat from Asia (Priondilurus [Felis]viverrinus) too, and the size is just about right, judging from specimens I saw in Vietnam. I doubt it is a leopard due to the absence of rosettes in the pattern and the presence of a dark dorsal stripe. I am not sure of the status of those two species. Since the seller is in France, there is a good chance the hide came from Southeast Asia. I could also be a large, well marked, European Wildcat (F. sylvestris).
