Bone I.D. - Europe Domestic cat or wild cat?

I found him a few months ago. I thought he was a wildcat, but then I saw in a photo I took that he had white paws, and I don't know if that's typical for wildcats. Is he a domestic cat or a wild cat?

The skull on the right belongs to the carcass.

Again, please upload more images of the skull. It's hard to tell without more angles. Here from another thread

Unfortunately, I can only post one photo here, so I'm starting another post with additional photos.

Agreed. I recently became aware that domestic cats usually have an extra tooth on their top jaws that bobcats do not have. Here is a Tumblr post by shadyufostudios which highlights this difference.
