If it is a truly wild cat I would go with Bobcat. Not all of them have the excessive hair like bobcats are typically known for. I have one mounted in my house and excessive hair is minimal. It is also a very tall/ long cat.

However, there is also a lot of mixed breeding and people own mixed breed cats. They are breeding wild breed cats to domesticated cats. The savannah is one for instance. The cats can weigh well over 20lbs and are all tall as dogs. Im not saying someone let their expensive breed out but its very possible that one bred a cat in a neighborhood and the genes carried on.

Also, keep in mind that a bobcat can breed a domesticated cat. They typically dont because of territory issues but it is genetically possible. There is a chance that a bobcat bred a shorthair cat and youre seeing the offspring.
