What a beautiful boy. I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like he had a life where he was deeply loved, and that is all any of us could ask for, isn't it? Just looking at that sweet face has me in tears, so I can only imagine the pain you must feel. Praying for comfort for you and your family. God Bless,

Yes I noticed since I had to go to the OR thread and attempt to make ammends for an apparent stalker.

But at least it will help the OR peeps find thier thread so it doesn't fall completely off here.

Yeah, you are right and I know this. I usually stay outside most of the time.
And I figured out why I more of a problem this year than ever before.
The people who used to live behind us moved. They had dogs and so not many predators came through there.
Now I am pretty sure that both times the Bobcat came through, it was through their yard and into our yard.
It was a truly beautiful animal, and I wouldn't want to shoot it.
But I would want to be able to scare it away at the very least.
It was interesting though, when I scared it enough to drop the chicken, he/she went into the pasture and sat there watching me watching it.
It layed down in the grass and it was hard to see if you didn't know where it was.
I know it was waiting for us to go away so it could come back and get another opportunity for dinner.
My DH went in and got his pistol and shot at it, to scare it totally of for the time being.
I am going to put TP out in my shed so I can just pee outside.
Our yard is private and I don't have an issue with using the outdoors.
it's just hard because I have never had a problem before this year.
It just makes me sad.

My question/concern....is why this bobcat so close to people. I know chickens are a easy target...but wouldn't a wild animal prefer more out in the woods? I wonder if it is hurt/old/too young to know better, etc. There have been cougars who came down into Winthrop, hid under porches. One had a face full of porpucpine quills and could not hunt.

One last year came right down by a friend's house and killed a ewe. It was hunted down and killed. It had evidently been hit by a car or something....had horrendous injuries...bone exposed and horrible infection in the leg. It was looking for easy food. Poor thing was in horrible pain.
