Makes the rat I found in my garage seem insignificant! :o
-
My dog was nose to nose with a Bobcat at my sliding glass door last night.
The dog was wagging his tail. When I walked to the door the cat slowly walked off.
In 25 years I've never seen one at my house.
I think if I had a mountain lion in my garage I would have just left the garage door open and asked him nicely to leave.
Glad to hear they didn't kill the kitty.

Wow, scary... I would have let it go as well.

I don't like when they euthanize wild animals that found their way into the city instead of relocating, but can you imagine if you lived next door and your toddler was killed after this neighbor let it loose???
-
If it is getting bold with people, I would like to see it re-located before it gets worse (for the lion or the residents).
Just sayin'....

My toddler would never be outside alone.

I saw the Bobcat on my porch again this morning. This time it had one of my cats in it's mouth. :o

My cat just turned 12. He has never, ever been outside. My house does not smell of cat, spray or other secretions. Coyotes, Bobcats, owls, stray dogs roam freely outside. Dude is safe inside with lots of windows to look out and some open and screened in spring/summer. I grow grass for him and provide scratching areas. He has everything he needs. INdoors.
I'm sorry for your poor kitty.
If you get another one...please,please,please keep it inside.

is the cat still alive?

My cats are also indoor cats.
Outdoor cats don't survive here.

Yes! Some how it managed to get away and without serious injury.

I have a 6 year old outdoor cat and she does fine.

My neighbor's cat is about 6 or 7 and he's let out every morning an let in every night. I guess they are really lucky because their property is right up against the forest. The cat must be really really good at evading predators.

I have four outdoor female cats. None are spayed and none have ever had kittens. It would be one tough male kitty to come all the way up here and service them.
Prior to the cats I had several thousand dollars in vehicle damage from pack rats eating electrical wires. The cats completely solved that problem, and I haven't had any damage since.
I have a kitty door on my garage so they can get indoors if they want. They tend to sleep during the day and hang out on the patio all night.
Now I'm wondering if the bobcat can fit through the kitty door...

well we just confirmed the bobcat fits through the kitty door in the garage.
She's in there with a litter of bobcat kittens!
hmm, now what? I'm going to leave them where they are unless I can come up with a better idea.
I'm not calling animal control.
-
Was she maybe carrying your cat around like another kitten then?
-
:o Holy Smokes, Skier Bob. I think I'd just leave them alone.
By the way, this thread says "mountain lion". Bobcat and mountain lion are two VERY different things!
-
Please take lots of pictures to share.

I talked with my UCDavis friends and they recommend that I just leave them alone if I can.
Yesterday we tried to put a camera in close by fastening it to the end of a 6ft pole. Momma kitty would have nothing to do with it. She aggressively showed her dislike to the point where I'm not going to attempt that again for now.
She's in a corner of the garage that we haven't moved anything around in over a year. The garage over twice the size of an average garage, and I don't park any vehicles in it, so I don't see a problem leaving her there for now.
I don't see her cohabitating with my domestic cats very long without eating one of them. So I'll attempt to relocate them to an out building today.

SkierBob, what an amazing story! I totally agree about NOT introducing the bobcat or her kits to your cats.
How big is the bobcat? I always pictured them as twice the size of a large housecat but that's kind of vague.

The Tale Of Bob and His Bobcats.....
SkierBob, what an amazing story!
The Tale Of Bob and His Bobcats..... ;D

WoW! How old are her kittens? How many did she have? or can you tell? :o How will you move them if she won't even let you take a pic.?
This is exciting. I hope you get some pix somehow.

Hi everyone, I brought up the topic about a mountain lion sighting last week because a neighbor and another local have recently seen one. One sighting, here in Wrightwood, was near Acorn and the other was on Cardinal. My intent on bringing this up was because the information wasn't on the forum, and I felt that if true it should be, in order to warn our population. The sighting on Cardinal was in the dusk hours, 6:30-8:30 PM. The animal was said to be about hip high on a human.

???
and?

For something like this--I think the "officials" should go door to door informing people to keep their children and pets indoors. If no one is home--leave a flyer in English and Spanish in a visible place.
Maybe volunteers at the animal shelter could carry this out.
