Kinda what I thought too. Tracks led from the beach (8 step concrete staircase) on my account, up a short walkway, and into the backyard next door. They just finished adding this sand between the new seawall and the house, which lost it's back wall and then some in the hurricanes 2 years ago.

Wouldn't think it'd be a dog or cat...or possum or armadillo...or rabbit or turtle. What's left?

EDIT: I'm guessing it's from a cat.......

Cat or dog would be my guess.

Racoons paws have long "fingers". The fronts almost look like little hands.

To me, dog and cat tracks are very similar, a central pad with 4 toe pads. I think the main way to differentiate is that dogs have "nails" that are always out, so you may see nail prints in front of the toes. Cats have, for the most part, retractable claws, so you'll just see the central pad and 4 toe pads. There may also be differences in the size, shape, and spacing of the pads, but I'm not likely to know that unless it's obvious based on size and what lives in the area.

Thanks - my guess would be cat over dog because most dogs are with a human (or humans) whereas cats go on walkabout by themselves routinely. And I don't see any human footprints here!

I spend a lot of time in Pensacola, and see a lot of skunks under the walk ways. I only see them at night.

OK thanks, Jack! I don't think I've ever seen one in this area, but am sure we have them. Maybe I'll set up one of my trail cameras and see what we're dealing with here! :p

My Wife was making a Super Bowl shopping list, and among the items, she asked if I wanted Li'l Smokies in a blanket, or in a bowl with sauce on the side.
I asked Copilot for a little help, and then I sent this back:

I was out on my bike ride yesterday when I passed a big bird sitting on the pedestrian sidewalk railing of a bridge. I stopped and got a quick photo on my phone before it dove out of sight and flew off with a big fish.
