Yep, a bobcat. Will have to look up the difference, but I think it's the same genus, different species :-? :-?

On Saturday we headed off to my SO's workplace, which is her backyard when she's there. It is located about half way between Hartebeespoort Dam and Krugersdorp in Gauteng. It is located in the middle of nowhere because of this contraption, which has to be in a radio-quiet area.
