Here Kitty, Kitty

Since my beloved dogs passed last fall, more and more animals traverse the land I steward.  At first, it was just raccoons, opossum, rats, mice, a variety of songbirds. Last week I found bear scat above the woods near the driveway.

Today when I was in the woods just near that area, I sensed a presence.  I could hear a faint sound.  Since I was staking four raspberry bushes, I decided to finish this for a while and come back into the house.  Almost as soon as I was out of sight, the animal sound began.  I thought it may be a bobcat sound so I youtubed it.  It was a bobcat cry.

In the later afternoon, I was outside sprinkling the lawn for five minutes.  I had just gotten inside and looked outside my studio through the window screen.

 I wanted a clearer photograph and went into the sunroom for one.

The first thing I noticed was that the animals passing through are getting larger.  My largest cocker spaniel was nearly thirty pounds and this bobcat was about five to ten pounds larger.
