Back in the day, The Bobcats was the name of a famous 16 inch softball team in the Chicago Area.
For those of you that don’t know 16 inch softball, it isn’t played with gloves and uses a 60 ft baseline diamond.
We have no cats in our backyard as we are on a lake. Everything comes through.
My neighbors’ daughter in New Mexico took a marvelous picture of a very handsome bobcat on her property in Albuquerque using a cellphone.

Pennsylvania's last mountain lion was shot in 1871, and bob cats nearly wiped out in the 1930s.
Today mountain lions are occasionally claimed to be seen, wild, and the bob cat population recovered to about 5,000 allowing for annual hunting of about a thousand.
Black bears number around 20,000 here and deer 1.5 million, of which about 100,000 each year collide with vehicles, causing some $400 million in damages, injuring 1,500 people and killing dozens.
Deer here are vastly more dangerous than mountain lions, bob cats & bears ever even thought of being.
