So blessed, fave of all the beautiful felines is the Bobcat!

[@createpeace]

They are beautiful, all! :)

[@LordKlavier]

aww, so cute!!

[@mortenrahm]

what a beautiful animal i love bobcats

[@lindalee4437]

It’s Beautiful 🤩

[@createpeace]

And she came again one day when I was sitting quietly in the backyard, stunning bobcat friend.

[@user-hm9tc5mm6s]

пришла поспать в безопасном месте)

[@createpeace]

Да, рысь, конечно, так и сделала :)

[@kevinscheifele6833]

It could use a rabbit or 2. Or maybe a goat or deer hahaha.

[@createpeace]

I suppose she does look thin, but the rabbits and chipmunks are on strict order not to appear when Bobbina is in the yard! :)

[@00bikeboy]

So pretty! 😍 Has she visited lately?

[@createpeace]

Thank you for asking. A few months ago I was sitting outside on the ground, and out of the corner of my eye, something turned the corner of the house. Looked bigger than a rabbit. I got up and stood by the door and she and I looked at each other. I quietly said, "You can stay, I'll go inside," but neither one of us moved. Then she moved across the yard and over the fence. My camera broke a year ago and I have not gotten another yet, and really want to. Such beautiful animals and feline friends they are. I have an unspoken agreement with Nature. The rabbits and chipmunks and squirrels have to come at a different time from the bobcats. So far, there has been agreement on that from all the players in the yard! :)

@@createpeace Sounds like you've brokered a good deal for all concerned, well done! 🙂

[@bikersoncall]

@@createpeace You can't talk to them at all until
they trust you, whether feral cat, dog etc, or wild critter,
makes no difference.
You can sometimes briefly look at them then look away
as if you didn't notice. It can take months and
even years for a wild animal to accept our presence.

[@verilyheld]

Simply checking the people out, seeing if they deserve the honour of a bobcat houseguest . . . .

[@createpeace]

Ha! Funny. Yes, certainly. If I were a bobcat, I'd probably do the same!

[@catzenhouse]

She looks quite thin, poor thing.

[@createpeace]

Last I saw her, she looked well and had a baby with her!

[@larryrobinson6914]

You got cushions for these chairs ????!!!!

[@createpeace]

:) You think cushions for the single orange chair would make the kitty more comfy? :)

[@vectorm4]

Would that cat attack a domestic house cat? (is this a dumb question?)

[@createpeace]

There are no dumb questions here. I believe so, and I looked it up just to be sure. There was a sad article about it. And I saw one of the babies bobcats, in my yard, catch and devour a rabbit. Didn't post that one - yet.

[@bikersoncall]

@@createpeace Don't post that, we all know
that wild animals need to eat, but that kind
of video is like TMI imv.

[@createpeace]

@@bikersoncall Thank you for your thoughts on that, much appreciated. If I ever do post it, it will be posted with a big fat warning. But so far, it's in the belly of my computer.

[@joergkirchberger3979]

Bekommt der kleine auch eine Schale mit Wasser?

[@createpeace]

I once put water out for this little one, but there was no interest. I was sorry the watering system was not on when she came to visit. Saw her yesterday again for the first time in a very long time, a year or two later. I was on the porch and she came around the corner. When she saw me, she didn't stay and, instead, leaped through the fence. She looked a bit malnourished, maybe just thin, and I hope finds some food soon.

[@joergkirchberger3979]

@@createpeace ich beneide sie für die Tierwelt bei ihnen. Deutschland ist zu sehr zersiedelt.

[@createpeace]

@@joergkirchberger3979 Yes, beautifully wild.

[@klmn48]

You can pet it?

[@createpeace]

No, not at all. She's wild and I'm behind glass taking some of these videos.

[@scotth5038]

Silly Question said those knifes that grow out of the paws.

[@createpeace]

@@scotth5038 You funny one, Scott! :) She is a sweet looker though. Think she returned a year or so later with her baby for a few moments in time.

[@lightwave9588]

please give him food

[@createpeace]

What a sweet thought. She came back one day with her baby! Haven't seen her or them in a long time now, but they are around.
