I know Teddi, see the quoted text? It is another interesting animal, but rarely seen in southern Baja.

Nope, it is called a BABISURI. You got it spelled wrong. It's also called a cacomistle.

Several years ago my dog and cat cornered an animal that looked very much like this raccoon. Was nocturnal ( large eyes) dark color, almost black, large tail (not ringed).Some gardeners chased it of a window ledge with a broom and told me the natives call it "catilla". Anybody ever heard this?

Checking with family,
yes, the specimen in Mexico Ted's photo is a jaguarundi. The locals call it a leoncillo. They know for sure they inhabit the mountains down here (La Purissima area) and are really fierce. They don't think they come down to the Mulege area but find sufficient water and food up in the hills. No need for a camera trap here in Mulege, Teddy.

They've never seen the ring-tailed cat; its rarely seen nowadays.

I'll go up to the remodeled museum in Mulege and have a look. Perhaps there's some new info there.
