Some may remember this, it happened in my neighborhood, just a few streets down. Well, two new bobcats have been spotted recently, walking around like they own the place. I is afraid of bobcats!

They are so very beautiful!! I never would have thought of them being in Florida, though. I have no sound on my laptop, but just watching that video is amazing--that poor guy!! There is no way my kids or pets would be outside!!

I have had the honor of seeing a bobcat once. They are really rare to see.
Yes, Keep pets and children inside, make sure you don't have any garbage that would attract them, Bobcats are beautiful but dangerous, extremely dangerous.

I saw a bobcat walking in the yard next door last summer. It was just minutes after I'd discovered the remains of its feeding. Yucky! It was fascinating, though I was a bit scared, too. I tried to get a picture, but by the time I got my phone, it was out of sight.

I called the county Wildlife agency to report it, and their response was, "That's great! You're very lucky." lol. I thought they might come try to get it or something, especially since they are endangered in my state. But nope, just was happy to hear of the sighting.
