What a great way to start the week! Right after my husband left for work he called to tell me there was a bobcat in our cul-de-sac. We have been seeing one pretty regularly near the field behind our house but never spotted him when I had my Nikon until now. He sat right down in front of our house and posed for me a bit. After taking a few pics I eventually scared him off and he scaled my neighbors shorter fence and sauntered down the alley.
We found a bobcat making himself at home by our pool the other night (at about 1:00 AM) He didn't have a clue that we were watching him from inside. He was gorgeous but we didn't want him to get too comfortable at our home. We both volunteer on the weekends at In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue in Wylie so we knew immediately that he was a bobcat. Friends of ours said he probably knew we were involved in rescuing big cats and making life better for them so he wanted to be a part of that. Either that or he knew we weren't a threat to him. After about an hour it didn't seem like he was planning on going anywhere so my husband scared him off by clapping loudly as he walked outside. He probably hangs out there every night and we just don't know it!
