My backyard friend

So I was sitting at the computer this morning at about 9:30 and heard a strange noise. I thought it might be our cat, so I went to check on him. He was snoozing on the sofa, all cuddly and cozy. As I walked back to the computer I looked through the atrium doors into our backyard and saw this:
No, my friends, that is not just a big cat. That is bobcat! In my backyard! Aaaaaa! I quickly got my camera out and snapped some pictures. Apparently the sound I had heard was Mr. Bobcat catching his mid-morning snack.
I followed him around to the side yard by looking through the doors in our dining room. After that he disappeared into a corner of the yard I can't see through any windows. So, he may or may not still be there, but there is no way I'm going outside to check!

Oh my goodness. Our neighbors have two cubs living under their deck. That is very scary.

yikes!!! Not a fun cat to have in the backyard!! I had a goat wander through my yard when we lived in Searcy:)

Yikes! Our neighborhood apparently has a bobcat that wanders around the green belt sometimes. I definitely do not want to meet him after seeing this!
