Best wakeup call ever! My husband woke me to show me the fat raccoon eating our figs, and in the time he was away from the window, a bobcat appeared! It jumped on the fence but got stymied by the apple trees and left.

Then when I looked at my photos later, we realized there were TWO bobcats!!! πŸ¦πŸ™€

A bobcat stands on a path beneath a fat raccoon in a small fig tree beside a fence in a suburban yard. On the far side of the fence, a second bobcat is obscured by foliage

@manton Not super common: we've lived here 11 years and this is only the second time we've seen a bobcat! Hoping to see it more - we planted a wildlife garden 3 years ago so it's now grown in, and we left the yard unfenced so it could be a wildlife corridor to the greenbelt out back.

@manton that said, it walked along the fence to leave so I think a gate wouldn't hinder it πŸ˜„
