I’m smack dab in the middle of the country and we have one that periodically watches us when we fish at my dad’s farm. You used to never, ever see them and, when you did, nobody believed you. It was big news (actually on the news). Must’ve been enough to have babies.
Beautiful! The one bobcat I've run into in the wild was accompanied by a house cat sized "baby" which was both super cute and terrifying since I figured she was likely to be extra aggro.
It's times like these that we really need @senatorshoshana.bsky.social back here to advise us what should be done in this situation. I feel like she would be ask-nay-telling @radiofreetom.bsky.social that she's bringing it home.
Yo tell my lil cousin to stop showboating and get back to work. I paid him last week to help build a fence and now I've almost completed it myself. Slackin
I’m glad I’m in Australia with no large cats… my survival instincts would switch completely off and I’d probably try call it over for strokes and scratches under the chin.
Bobcat. Used to walk around the old quarries behind my neighborhood and see big cat tracks in the clay. I was...10 ish, and got creeped that I was in a wild predators territory.

(Yeah, yeah, we all know I'm going to die trying to pet something I shouldn't.)
“Yo we need to make that cat spotted because it’s about to kill everything else”
It's kind of similar to our lynx (iberian lynx), although I don't get a sense of size from those pictures.
For a week or so he would sun himself and watch us going to a from our cars.
They are lot bolder here in SoCal.
Biggest ones double that.
So usually a 1.5-2x sized housecat.
We'd see deer.
We'd see coyotes more than deer, especially when going up at night.
I'd love to see one out in the wild
To our late sheltie: "who's the yellow dog?" Occasionally changed to who's the brown dog because dog had a majestic coat of many colors.
To his brother's ex-cats: "Biggie, you are a cat. Mister Kitty, you are a cat."
Do not attempt to pet
@sasshole.bsky.social
Shall we hug it?
(My last words, if I am ever found dead on a trail somewhere)
Catamount, Bobcat or Lynx?
You should pet it.
Lots of “Is this someone’s dog? I found here and she’s super dirty and bit me a few times when I bathed her” haha
I swear there are more
*as one slowly backs away*
Only wish I knew what they looked like 🤣🤣
Not there at the moment - were there earlier then they were cleaning the enclosure.
