What a delight to spot this critter this evening. This is only, if my memory and photos are correct, the third sighting of a Bobcat (Lynx rufus) in the area of the cabin.
I discovered this one just as the sun was thinking of going down, which corresponds with it being crepuscular. They’re solitary creatures. Varying in length from 25 to 40 inches and in weight from 25 to 35 pounds.
Hoping I’ll see it again soon.

I’ve never seen a spotted bobcat!!
Hi Grace, this is only my 3rd sighting. And that’s after being up here for 32 or 33 yrs. About 16 yrs on nearly every weekend about 16 yrs full time. They are very shy creatures.
So glad you read my posts!

How lucky, and remarkable that their faces look so benign – like your average kitty
Hi Elizabeth!
Like an average, cute, precious kitty cat! Indeed it makes me want to go out and just start talking to the critter. Fortunately for me, Bobcats are quite frightened of humans!! No chance of having that chat.
Thanks so very much for reading my posts!
