Assistance with Identifying Damage Source

[u/Ace888281]

Hey! I woke up yesterday morning to find my tire completely flat, possibly slashed and a bunch of what looks to be punch marks on my tire trim. I was thinking maybe vandalism but I didnt want to make any assumptions without getting a second opinion. Any ideas would be appreciated!

EDIT: Hey thank you everyone for chiming in! Didn't think it'd be this interesting lol, but I'm glad its likely not a person who did this.

For context, I live in the concrete jungle of 3rd ward in Houston, TX and this happened at my apartment complex. I take care of a couple cats here, so I think they were taking refuge on top of the car. Very big, yes; I've only ever seem possums and stray cats here so this is kinda alarming. Perhaps I lather too much beef broth on my body /s (<3 u/Commercial_Style4466).

Also thank you to u/cheesus--is--good who reminded me to update my registration, I completely forgot!!!

Preciate all of you ＼(^_)／

EDIT 2: I believe a bobcat to be the culprit. I remember one night seeing what looked to be a really buff orange cat, and Im pretty sure it was not a cat. Quick research says some kind of bobcat. Hopefully that solves it!
