Urban Bobcat in my backyard

[Mailman]

About 6 months ago we had heard around the neighborhood that there is a family of Bobcats living near us. Makes sense, we have open desert style yards with almost no fencing. And we have a golf course just 100 yards away with plenty of water. They like to hang out in the shade around peoples patios. The neighborhood is really quiet right now as many of my neighbors are only winter residents. Anyways the lady behind us sent us a text message the other morning saying she had one laying on her patio.
A little hard to see in this short video, it is slinking carefully behind some bushes.

And my lawnmower has disappeared.

Then I see no issues with filling that spot with another motorcycle!
I was watching a Cougar in a neighbors yard the other day but her husband called her and she went inside…….

Do they like chickens? We have a neighbor that is a pain and they have chickens soooo! Also looks like that kitty could do a job on that neighbors dogs.

If you don't like Bobcats don't put up Welcome Signs...

We were just talking about how there had been this population explosion of rabbits here a couple months ago, they were literally everywhere. Now……not so much! I think they have been converted to cat food.

They're wild animals approach with caution..They maybe in the yard but I wouldnt advise getting too close..They will problably avoid you but you never ever want to corner one..Those are big paws n claws...
