I was looking out the window at dusk today and just happened to see a bobcat standing in our yard, about 15 feet away from where I stood! I quickly called John over in a loud whisper. The bobcat was kind enough to hang around sniffing the air and flipping its short tail around until John could get to the window. (They are a little bigger than Maine Coone cats, but a bit longer/taller and not as puffy, with a tail about five inches long, tops.) A few moments later, it continued its saunter through the yard and slipped through the fence, fading off into the twilight. I love synchronized moments like this – if I hadn’t looked out the window just then I would have missed it completely!
