OMG, that doesn't bare thinking about. I find it hard to imagine that
simply putting your bins out could be so daunting!!
He was right, had that been a child, it wouldn't have stood a chance.
Having said that, how big is a Bob Cat? I imagine it to be bigger than
a domestic cat, yet not as large as a wildcat ( like a lion Cheetah or
a lynx?)
It must have been terrifying..!!
S;o)

There are also bobcats right in urban areas of some American south-west
cities. One of my sons lives in Arizona & regularly each year has bobcats
(mama & babies) coming up from the ravines behind his house & into his
backyard where they are happy to explore & play in the early mornings.

I've got some pictures of these bobcats on Webshots - the pictures are kind-
of washed out - but you can get a pretty good idea - this album is called
back yard friends showing some of the animals that sometimes visit this
backyard. I've also seen javelinas (wild pigs) in his front yard & in the
hills around his home when I've been there, but don't have any pictures.
Here's the link:

He's got a small dog that can go out into her own enclosure in the backyard
through a cat-flap door & I always ask if he isn't afraid at this time of
year to let her out by herself, but perhaps she's smart enough to stay inside
?
