We see them frequently...they don't call it the 'Catskills' for nothing..one yr, I was letting my little terrier out, and noticed a cat on our compost pile, and I told the dog to go chase the cat...good thing I had a neighbor over, who told me it was a bobcat! We were new to the area, and never saw one before. Unfortunately, we see more along the sides of the road than on our compost pile..
I love cats too....however this one is a really mean one..and will attack you out in the woods! I really love tigers, lepoards ect but they do not live near me:)o
fortunately, they are just as afraid of you as you are of her. She looks like she is hunting for her babies.
