I saw this guy this morning. He was stalking a squirrel in our tree but finally gave up to hunt elsewhere.
That's a big bobcat

One thing about it, he is no fat cat. Looks very lean and agile.

Dang!! What's wrong with that bobcat? I have at least 2 living on my farm, way back in the woods, but I only catch a brief glimpse of them on the cameras, once in a blue moon. You got them waltzing around in your front yard, in the middle of a subdivision!

Yeah, I was going to say. Never seen one in a suburban area like that. Lucky to see one in the wild.
Thanks, that's been a real challenge with so many days over 100 and over 80 days without rain
We see them every now and then here. I never knew about all the wildlife in our suburb before I got cameras - we've seen coyotes, possums, skunks, raccoons, and the usual rabbits, cats, etc.

Interesting how it avoided the grass and walked on the rock wall.. like it was hugging cover..

I’ve always thought that was kind of odd… Fox, cats, raccoons, deer, etc., will tend to follow the sidewalks and rock paths in my yard even though there’s a shorter direct path across the grass. Not always depending on where/when but most often for those routes. One of those things that I never noticed much before I had cams.
Forget that cat, forget that grass, that is a clean oldsmobile parked on that curve. Looks to have been well maintained.
Damn, your grass looks perfect! Can't imagine what your water bill is though. I gave up on my backyard...it's just snap, crackles and pops now when we walk on it. Love St. Augustine grass, but it sure does like water. GREAT looking lawn!
Yeah, same here...like walking on dry hay.
I get the same sound of walking on Rice Krispies when I get up at 2 AM to pee....but it's my old, tired foot bones.
I'm not sure if it was cover it was seeking, or if it just instinctually knows that the hard surface is quieter to walk on. Either way, it is remarkable....
About a year ago I saw this bobcat on a neighbor's roof, I couldn't believe it.
Nice catch, looks like it saw you too.

I am waiting to see a coyote on a roof in my neighborhood. They already walk the brick walls, and it is not much of a leap to get onto a roof.

We had an outside cat, it was always up on the roof..
