I found this in my yard, 95 percent chance it's a cat or a small feral pig. Has black fur around it. Kept smelling it and finally found it.

Looks like possum to me.
Cat eye sockets are more bulbous.
Alive?
JK. I think it was a possum.
Without a location or much of a scale object, my first thought was opossum.
I would think mongoose. Snout is a bit longer than the mongoose skulls I’ve seen myself but the teeth are spot on. I saw you’d mentioned maybe small pig but the sharp teeth doesn’t look like a pig to me, pigs generally have pretty flat teeth
That is an opossum, if you in the US, playing dead as hell.
Look at how, in the first pic, the upper canines turn outward. That, with the flat rear molars, and large, blunt incisors, would indicate to me a small feral pig, especially since this is Hawaii.
If you’re in Hawaii, I’d say 99% mongoose, because I was leaning toward mink.
Alive?
My first thought was piglet
Yummy…. apparently to something else, that’s for sure.
Looks exactly like opossum, but based on your replies I’d guess mongoose for sure.
