Mick S Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 While I was sitting at my bench this morning reading emails and drinking coffee, this guy walks up, peers into the shop, grooms himself then hops up on the fence.Should make a good mouse catcher now that it's getting colder.We call him Roberto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 That's pretty sweet. The land my fishing club sits on has a lot of bobcats. We plant quail and pheasant a few times a year for club hunts. The cats always look quite a bit fatter after those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodger. Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 So cool - I would feed him just so he keeps visiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 He hung around for a while, maybe 5 minutes. Once he spotted me he didn't seem to be in any hurry to get away. Just kind of looked around and hopped down. Some of the mint in the front flower beds have been mashed down for a week or so, like something pretty decent sized has been nesting - this may be it.

wdwerker Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Our local zoo gives catnip to the big cats and they act like kittens. Plant a patch of catnip, a stoned bobcat would be entertaining ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
