Neighbors first noticed the feline squatters Aug. 27 hanging out on a side wall of the empty house in the Tuscany Hills development. ... The foreclosed home is one of several on the block. Its lawn is brown but still being watered by the sprinklers. The house sits right up against barren, chaparral-covered hills.

I’m surprised these Bobcats are so laid back. I thought they were a more skittish kind of animal and liked to remain hidden from people.

Cool.

But then every bobcat I ever met has hated me.

Seriously. I have a friend who rehabs and rescues large cats. I get along with all of them but the bobcats. They just posture, hiss and growl at me. : (
