Isn’t That Just the Way It Goes

 Just when I thought there was nothing going on and nothing to do this happened —


Yes, it is a bobcat with it’s silly tail.  I am not sure if it is the one we had before but it is big enough.  Allen thinks it might be a younger version.  I don’t care what it is, I don’t like it.  And I don’t know what to do about it.  

I don’t think animal control will solve the issue because it isn’t living in my yard but rather just passing through occasionally.  I don’t think Trixie knows it exists and I hope to keep it that way.  

Speaking of Trixie, we discovered today that she is afraid of airplanes.  Silly moo!

Anyway, I have only been up an hour and so far this is what I have.  Who knows what excitement lies ahead!

Wow. A Bobcat so close. I'd be tempted to set up a small mouse trap that would SNAP loudly but do no harm to the Bobcat if it investigated too closely. That might scare it away permanently.

Hi, GM! Actually, that sounds like a really good idea! Last night we had Rocket the Racoon, the orange cat Oompa Loompa, the possum who shall remain unnamed and I caught a glimpse of the tail end of a fox — a young one I think. I can handle all of that but that bobcat just doesn’t sit well with me. After speaking to my neighbors on some FB pages it seems there are several groups of them here in the neighborhood. It is surprising because this is not an isolated area — it is overcrowded with people and cars and all sorts of business and schools and such, it is sort of amazing.

Update

 Yes, it has been a month — and what a month it has been.  Long story short all the grafts from my husbands bypass surgery have disappeared ...
