Bobcat in my yard

[B20EF]

I was sitting in my front yard and saw this little guy walk up my neighbours driveway. I've never seen one before, pretty cool to see up close.

Cool! What area is this?

[AndyL]

Can I borrow him/her? I have a few squirrels I'd like to introduce him to ;)

[GQBalla]

COOL!!!

[rookie101]

That's awesome!!

[Shlade]

My life goal is to get one and make it my pet.... Where is this? If you see a guy in full camo holding a net just ignore it

Easier than you think to get one as a pet. Fairly reasonable pricing as well.

Its in Cedarbrae in the SW. I live 2 rows of houses away from the native reserve so I assume he lives there or Fish Creek.

[dj_rice]

Good thing its a squirrel in his mouth and not somebodys cat :rofl:

[Kijho]

Looked like a neighbors cat in it's mouth LOL.
Squirrel or rabbit I guess ? :dunno:

That's pretty fucking cool though - but fuck, are there any playgrounds / children playing in your neighborhood?? That's scary shit! :eek:

It's illegal to own a bobcat or lynx as a pet in Canada.

Sorry to burst somebody's dream bubble.

Quickl call the Conservation Officer and get them to take a break from targeting innocent domestic dogs and get them on this!!

[eglove]

that's awesome!

[ekguy]

That's awesome.

[90_Shelby]

[syritis]

[SHO]

That's not a pet that's my battle cat

My cats almost as big as that bobcat, he takes squirrels that big, down regularly. I think he`s taken down about a dozen since we brought him home from our farm this fall.

yeah he`s.... big. :nut: probably a good 20-25pounds. nobody has ever seen a domestic cat that size before.

[Maybelater]

Not a good day to be a squirrel

[Supa Dexta]

Scary? AHAHAHA its a bobcat, not a cougar..

They are usually pretty elusive, theres an old trapper that usually gets a half dozen of them a winter on my farm.. You never see them otherwise, but they must be breeding, as he's been at it for years. :dunno:

That funny my sister got a cat years ago in Medicine Hat and people were always taken back at her size she was over 20 lbs as well, would routinely bring home birds, squirrels. Strangers would always say...wow lazy cat to get that fat, but damn thing was always hunting something.

[D'z Nutz]

Holy shit! I clicked on this thread thinking you were asking if you could park one of these in your yard!

I wish we had a bobcat around... Only get deer and porcupine walking through my yard

[msommers]

This is an amazing sighting, I'm quite jealous! Not just to see one but with one that just caught a snack.

[flipstah]

Awesome sighting! :eek: :thumbsup:

Get a Savanah - be warned that it can get expensive depending on breeding.

I've always wanted a bengal cat - smaller, but usually likes water and has huge paws.

[2Legit2Quit]

He caught a big ass squirrel, good for him/her. Very cool.

My neighbors have a bengal, they are such a neat-looking breed. They sure can howl when they want attention! :rofl:

The gf's parents have one, I'm not a cat person but its actually pretty wicked, very chill, plays fetch like a dog, growls like a dog but I've never heard it howling or anything like that. Its coat is insanely smooth as well.

[kvg]

That's way cooler than my shitty cat:thumbsup:

[heavyfuel]

Awesome pic!

Our farm cats are the same way. The tom's get MASSIVE, and solid muscle too. They'll bring home anything, especially gophers or weasels. They're also feral as hell so I try to keep my distance haha.

[B20EF]

This one was decent too, just too much glare on the window

Not as cool as the bobcat, but I found this guy tonight.

My cousin has an F1 Savanah (yes it is illegal, but you can get them) they can be a lot of fun, but dont do well in the cold, and are very independent, and wild if you get the as an F1, aka very hard to train.

[Supa Dexta]

Watch out for porkys, they can go off even after they're dead.. lol

mine weighed in at 28 at the vet, put him on a diet and now he's a lean 22 pounds. Lot's of domestic cats get pretty big.

I dont know why but this made me laugh. That is a Case machine everyone calls them Bobcats but Bobcat is a brand. Term is skid steer.

I've been in Calgary all my life and have never seen one except once at the zoo back in the day. I know they are in fish creek etc but I never see them (and I run/bike a ton). Deer by the dozens though.

You're not the only one. I was coming in with the expectations of reading "cut the hydraulic lines" or "set the tires on fire".

[D. Dub]

Crazy cool!!

I have nothing to add to this conversation, except this. Hopefully some of you get it.

[Go4Long]

that's a cool cat. I want a savannah as well, but it'd be bigger than my kid at this point...lol

[bleu]

Cool! There is a pair of bald eagles near where I live. I love rare wildlife spottings!

Crazy, I ran into lot's biking in Fish Creek. Luck of the draw I guess. Lot's of dog owners love porcupines I'm sure lol.

yeah, only mine isn't the least bit fat though, just muscle. Mines just a hair under 1 ft 10" long excluding his tail. I should find a pic with me holding him, he's fucking huge. :nut:
