I’ve posted shots before of our local friendly bobcats who often come to visit, usually peering in the windows at us.
This guy was after a rabbit that scurried into the bushes. He sat on the rock for quite a while (panting in the heat) before going into the bushes to find it. Don’t know what the outcome was.
We like the pattern on his ears, which is unusual. You can see bob here.
What a beauty. So glad you can appreciate him. Here sometimes the neighborhoods get a tad too freaked out when one wanders through. Fluffy might get et.
We also have a bobcat or two running around here in the Mojave HD in our neighborhood; looks like the same species, but ours has a shorter tail. Seen the bobs a couple of times, but not the mountain lion that also is hanging around the hills that start out 100 yards from us that some neighbors have seen. I notice a lot less rabbits recently as well.
My first cat (and the only one who loved me as much as I loved him) was suspected of being the progeny of a Bobcat Tom and a Badkitty housecat in heat.
He had the longest jackrabbit feet I’d ever seen on a house cat. He used to beat the hell out of the neighborhood Toms, but what I loved about him best was how he’d chase visiting relatives out of the house.
Bad boy! Don’t bite/chase EBS out of the house. Now go in that corner & think about what you’ve done. And chew on this steak while your at it…*
