Bobcat Sighting
I'm so excited because I saw my first and second bobcat sighting
yesterday. We have a house in the sierra foothills in Copperopolis (near Angels Camp). I was going next door to a neighbor's house to leave a note for the gardener when all of a sudden a bobcat popped up behind a cement wall, jumped on the wall, paused to look at me, then scampered away. Later that same day, I noticed the bobcat again, and this time he had a rodent in its mouth as he was prancing away with it. He stopped to look at me again and waited for me to move. I left him alone to his dinner. I'm thinking that this is what I heard late at night. We hear all kinds of animals, especially coyotes, but the other night we heard a different sound, and I'm now convinced it was the bobcat (after googling bobcat sounds). It was very cute actually and didn't seem aggressive at all. Now I hope I don't see a mountain lion! |

They like to live in obscurity and we are driving them out. |

Our golf course is smack dab in the middle of wilderness area. My domestic cat used to like going onto our deck and sunning himself. I notice lately he doesn't like to go outside. In fact, he's scared to go out there. Now I know why! |

I hear him and have seen his tracks many times. We (Bear and I) have seen his eyes looking at us from the trees. Once I saw him in daylight. Sometimes Bear reacts very aggressively to what he smells on bushes. So that's either coyotes or Mr. Bob because Bear loves cats and other d*gs. The odd/great thing is that the several indoor/outdoor cats in our complex have all been here for years and their numbers have not been diminished. Good Bob. -- Will in New Haven "I noticed that in obedience and riding classes , people with training in the behavioural sciences hadn't much chance of succeeding with their animals, and that the higher the degree held by the person, the worse the job of training was likely to be."

Is that the one? That's lovely country. Joy |

Copperopolis is about 15 miles south of Angels Camp on Hwy 4. We live in a golf community called Saddle Creek. There's another golf community in Angels Camp called Greenhorn Creek. We love it there. Where are you from? |
