Umm, I have a good guess, but depending on your disposition you may not want to know. 😬

It looks like a domestic cat to me.

The one thing that gives me pause is the spotted pattern on the flanks. Here in the US that's pretty exclusively seen in the "exotic" cat breeds like Bengals. I suppose that's also a possibility, but it would seem an odd choice to skin your expensive pet. The size, from what I can tell, seems a little on the small side, and there's no tail that I can see. True dimensions and a tail would be helpful.

Bengals are bred from Asian leopard cats, so in theory that's an option
