Did you ever see this cat in your yard?

[humanearth]

We just saw one in our chicken coop tonight. I think it got away with a chicken

Yes that cat is a Lynx

[FunkyMonkee]

No, but I saw a black one a few hours ago!! Why do dogs have to be tied up hen they go out but cats can roam all over the countryside any time they want?

[humanearth]

Well that cat is a wild cat. Its called a lynx we also have cougars, black bear, Timber Rattle snake and a few elk

Even though I have never seen the Elk, DNR claim they are here

Sadly, it's due to the impression a lot of people have cause some dogs are treated / raise poorly by their owners. Dogs aren't mean by nature they learn that.

If you think for a second, if you see a house cat out, no one immediately ask "will that cat bite?" That is asked about Dogs on site cause so many raised / treated badly.

My cousin had a full blooded Pitt Bull, everyone was so afraid when they saw it in his fenced in yard, but the most aggressive thing about that dog was her tongue. She was very loveable and if she bite a flea that would be the only thing.

I know some dogs have to be the way they are for guard duty or other similar reasons but most dogs have no reason to be trained to be mean.

We humans (as a group) mess up so much for them.

[TrueConfection]

No, but I've had many bobcats in my yard. One used to sit at my glass door like he expected to be invited in.

[TrueConfection]

It was nothing, but a mouse click

[TrueConfection]

Thank you for the mouse click! 🐁

[douride2]

Yes we have a lynx come through fairly often.

[humanearth]

Same, also we also have seen black beer, elk and moose from time to time

[PamelaRivers]

Main thing I see in the court yard here at the apartments or behind my building is deer. They love our grass.

[NathanDavis]

so nice, that's a beauty... my backyard isn't as cool, lol

[humanearth]

Its a price you pay when you live in the middle of forest

[lightbulb27]

I've not seen but have a few Bobcats.

[Likes2drive]

Nothing bigger than a raccoon around here but I do see deer and wild turkey if I go further east

[Msputiton]

No. But it is pretty

[humanearth]

That cat can kill

[Msputiton]

I would admire from afar like in my house cowering from behind the window

[humanearth]
