47 Comments on Just had a bobcat walk past the window
They won’t come after you. I live in a rural area and walk the trails around. I came across a bob cat one morning. We both looked at each other, I backed up far enough to where he could run by and crawl under a fence. It was a crossing to a dam and no where to go. There’s cameras on this crossing and they spot mountain lions crossing. They’re a totally different story. Nice experience to spot one fox too.
NINE LIVES MATTER
Start feeding it and you’ll have a cool pet.
That’s the Penn State Nittany Lion… you’re being haunted by a reincarnated Joe Paterno. Yell, “We Are – Penn State” and he won’t harm you. 👿
I wasn’t ascared. I went out with a ball of yarn and tried to get a game going.
Bob cats are generally elusive, it is a treat to see them and watch their graceful and stealthy movements. Beautiful animals, particularly when they aren’t eating “your” chickens, rabbits and ducks.
Bobcat killed 2 of my geese a couple of years ago.
I shot but either missed (fast as a flash) or wounded it – either way, it didn’t come back.

Bobcat? In PSL? We have Florida panthers, which are rare.
Back to NY for you, Mr. Hat
Your lucky I have a family of crack heads living next to me.
To bad that big white dildo is blocking the view….
BHF, what is that thing?
Fur, is that a punching bag? Getting ready to rumble with dinndo nuffins?
bobcats have bob tails. that one appears to be a panther. actually panther, mountain lion and similar names are pretty much the same things. look it up. its interesting.
It could also be a very large tabby cat. I read that tabby cats get big in Florida.
Fur, did you ever see skunks when you lived in Yonkers? We have them by me (Cross-County Parkway exit #5). I have never been sprayed, but I can tell when they’ve been around.
Saw a bobcat over here in Lehigh
Acres bout 3 or 4 years ago. He ran before I could get my phone out to take a picture.
Looks like a Lynx sorta. Hard to tell by the pic
Haven’t seen one of those in years.
We need to all pitch in and get you a better camera.
🙂
I’m a city girl (Southern Cali born) and lived in the high desert of AZ for a couple years.
I could hear coyotes yipping, at night, or on the way to work if I was walking early enough in the morning, they were CLOSE…scared the stuffings out of me, and I saw very young skunks a couple of times (there were skunks everywhere, dogs always getting sprayed), and heard that there were javalenas around.
I love nature, but prefer the scarier aspects of it documentary style, thank you very much.
By the way Arizona also has some of the ugliest and weirdest bugs I have EVER seen.
I’m going with Lynx for 1000 Alex. BFH, did it have a black tip on it’s tail? Rear legs are noticeably longer than the front, and sharp little tuffs of black on the tips of it’s ears. Lynx look more like they come from the Cheetah family and Bob Cats normally look like your house cats been doing steroids and hitting the gym.
How do you know his name is Bob?
A lynx is any of the four species within the Lynx genus of medium-sized wild cats, which includes the bobcat.
And you’ve treated how many Lynx vs Bobcats? I’ve been hunting since Christ was a kid and the description I gave above is accurate. You can also easily find it on line. And yes they probably are from the same family, but they sure as hell don’t look he same.
I like nature – I just don’t like to touch it.
Roughing it for me is when the ice machine is not on the same floor as the motel room.
I’ve been an astronaut for 37 years, and I’m here to tell you that’s a blurry, fucked up photograph of something.
If only you were an artist and could draw what you saw.

Are you challenging the Big Fur?
Neat how you slipped that in there lol
Well we know the camera auto focused on the screen, a manual camera
may have done better.
So now we know there are Muslims and wild animals in the area.
I hope you have a pistol for out of the house carry and a long gun at home.
It looks like the bobcat is pissing on a dock pad.
Do you live in a houseboat?
Nice to see

Hey, greetingsfromyonkers… I used to live near exit 8 of that parkway.
There’s a bobcat that wanders through my property every now and then. It looks like a small lion or a huge house pet. Not long ago I was walking by my neighbor’s driveway and the bobcat was sitting right there just like your pet cat would do. I kept walking, the bobcat watched me pass and that was the end of it.
You shouldn’t be bragging about this.
The BLM just might step in and declare your yard a bobcat refuge and require you to make expensive changes to accommodate the cat. Like blacking out all your windows so it won’t get startled by seeing you.
My nickname is Bobcat….and you’ve all offended me deeply…( it was already taken on IOTW) I shall shit in your Driveways tonight…kind of like a poopy Santa Claws….(Insert hissing sound here)
Sorry but we were looking for Bob Cat
You just made the list Pal
Unless you are on extremely familiar terms with them, I believe they prefer to be called Robertfelines.
😇
One time when our family was staying at a ranch in the Rincons near Tucson, the kids went out on the patio about 8-9 p.m. to mess around. All of a sudden they screamed wildly and pushed through the door. A javalena came out to scavenge and wandered onto the patio.
After examining the blurry photo more, I can see the tail is way too short for a panther. I first took it as looking shorter because of the angle.
I stand corrected on calling it a lion.
Secondly, and mostly, I trust Fur’s memory about seeing a pattern or not. A Puma is much less marked up compared to a bobcat and I believe he would notice and remember whether the coat had a pattern or not. It’s what artists do and he’s good at it.
Guess that saves us from a John Cougar Mellencamp pun from Vietvet. Or a warning/notice to young men there’s a cougar in town. 🙂
@Dad0f4: You would be safe anyway. I ate some unripe cantaloupes earlier, so I can’t make any cougar puns because I’m currently in the john, suffering from melon cramps.

And another BOBCAT…

Yes, Boobie! Where have you been?
Had a bobcat jump up on a retaining wall about 10 feet from me when I was treating the outside of a house by a creek.
There is a HUGE difference in size between grown male and female bobcats.
The female could be mistaken for a very large cat while the male will freak you out. It’s about knee high on a 6 ft man.
Didn’t get close enough to get more precise than that.
And that is not a bobcat in the photo. You’ve got yourself a lion of the American sort there.
Don’t know if they are protected there, but I’d be measuring for a place to put it as a rug if it’s hanging around my house.
1. Thanks for your concern, folks. Two months in hospital; ticker did a few too many tocks.
2. The Florida panther: http://www.sierraclub.org/florida/calusa/florida-panther-protection
After examining the blurry photo more, I can see the tail is way too short for a panther. I first took it as looking shorter because of the angle.
I stand corrected on calling it a lion.
