Adorable Bobcat Family Invades Our Backyard!

[@jonathangold2087]

How fortunate you were to have been visited by this beautiful family of wild felines! You got sone terrific footage of them, both in stills and video. No doubt you and your family were delighted to have your property graced by these magnificent felines! Thanks for sharing their visit yo your property with all of us!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We were truly amazed by their presence and glad to share those moments with everyone!

Great mom. Finds a spot, high up on top of the fence, where the kids are safe to play and she can keep an eye on them and any potential threat that may be lurking. While the kids play and explore she takes a much deserved break from having those little ones, constantly under foot. Moms of every species can be so similar.

I moved to S. AZ in 2016. I had only been there for a month or so, and was standing on my patio at dusk, when this beautiful Bobcat strolled across my yard. I stood perfectly still and just basked in her beauty. She carried on her way. ❤

[@jfbPhotos]

That sounds like such a magical experience! Bobcats are truly stunning creatures, and it must have been incredible to witness one up close.

Americans are so lucky. The UK is an actual wildlife desert compared with the US. I'm in S Wales where we have seagulls, pigeons and squirrels in the local park, thats it. I haven't seen a hedgehog for a decade, you use to see them every night. Same with Foxes. Some still boast about the UK countryside but most of it is a barren grass monoculture.

[@jfbPhotos]

It's interesting to hear your perspective! Wildlife can vary so much from place to place. Hopefully, more efforts can be made to restore natural habitats and bring back some of those lost species.

[@Pk13561]

That’s sad. I live in Wyoming, we see moose, elk, mule deer, bears on occasion, badgers, bald eagles…in town, ha.

[@Uhlersoth77]

​@@Pk13561 I hope Wyoming stays that way.

[@davidjames1815]

I'm sorry its become so barren in terms of wildlife in the UK. That's sad. Maybe you'll see a rare wild boar in the near future😊

[@lindamaag3541]

Beavers(key stone species) have been reintroduced into the UK. They are ecological powerhouses, cherish them

[@lupodelupis3672]

Those small kittens are already great climbers😳

[@jfbPhotos]

It's amazing how quickly they pick up climbing skills! Kittens are just natural adventurers.

[@thetalisman4299]

This is a nice personal wildlife documentary. I live in CA also, and what was drilled into my head as a kid was water conservation and urban sprawl. Hopefully videos like this will still be made 60 years from now.

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you for your thoughts! It's so important to raise awareness about wildlife and conservation, especially in places like California. Let's hope these messages resonate for generations to come!

[@00bikeboy]

Those kittens are so stinkin' cute!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you! I'm so glad you think so! They really do bring a lot of joy, don’t they?

[@pearlgee5970]

Wow, it must have been pretty exciting to have them in your backyard. I was quite nervous as they were getting ready to cross. Glad to hear they made it!❤

[@jfbPhotos]

It really was an incredible experience! Watching them cross was a mix of excitement and nerves, but I'm glad they made it safely too.

[@saturahman7510]

They do not do any harm. They are just curious animals.

[@jfbPhotos]

Absolutely! Curiosity is a natural trait in animals, and it's fascinating to observe their behavior without fear.

[@brianhammer5107]

Unless one is a rabbit. 😁

[@misanthrophex]

Well they might be dangerous to small pets. And possibly babies and toddlers, but in general yes. Though I prefer when wild animals are in the wild. Urban life doesn't suit them, many bad things can happen to them in urban locations.

[@jungletiger1900]

Lucky you, thanks for sharing that beautiful moment.

[@jfbPhotos]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Moments like these are truly special to share.

[@tariqrahman6918]

Absolutely stunning

[@jfbPhotos]

I'm glad you think so! I put a lot of effort into making it visually appealing.

[@DebbieAppelhans]

Thank you for videos Record of the beautiful mom bobcats and kitten 😸 really enjoy watching them 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jfbPhotos]

I'm so glad to hear you enjoy the videos! Mom bobcats and their kittens are truly fascinating to watch.

[@bennobeck]

Great video, thanks from a nature fan from Germany!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Nature fans unite!

[@rrael]

Beautiful creatures! I love cats, but I live in eastern Maryland where there aren't any wild cats to experience such moments. Just stuff like foxes, possums, and deer. Great pictures and video!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you for your kind words! Cats are truly amazing creatures, and it’s great to hear you appreciate them even from afar.

[@saturahman7510]

My lynx is 100 kilos and he is purring rigth now.

[@jfbPhotos]

Wow, it sounds like you have an impressive lynx! That's a lot of love in one big package!

[@fox39forever]

Those are STUNNING photographs!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the photographs!

[@j.carranza8995]

These cats r sooo bada$$ Coolest patterns, high jumps, climbing trees…. so kool

[@jfbPhotos]

Absolutely! These cats definitely know how to show off their skills and style. They're like the superheroes of the animal kingdom!

[@-newfie-]

What an awesome video Jim, they are beautiful majestic animals. Cheers to you and your family.

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. These animals truly are magnificent!

[@jerrypolverino6025]

Lucky you. I am green with envy.😅

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you! It's all about making the most of opportunities, right?

[@maggiesue4825]

Really great pictures! Good mom, good photographer!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me to know that you enjoyed the photos.

[@KerrAvon7]

You live somewhere really groovy, Jim! ❤🐈🐈🐈❤🥰👍❕

[@KerrAvon7]

P.S. I love your exotic pine trees by the way; is that a Korean pine by any chance....? I bet you're a great photographer but I am not competent to render an opinion worth two cents as it's not an area I've any knowledge about beyond the brute facts of the physics of visible light being bent to our needs, or our detriment, depending...!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thanks! I really appreciate it. It’s a great place to live and I love sharing it with everyone!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, the tree is indeed a Korean pine. I appreciate your interest in photography, and remember, everyone has their own perspective to share!

[@lincolnyaco5626]

good neighbors!! Why do hoomynz find cats so delightful?

[@jfbPhotos]

Cats have this magical ability to bring joy and companionship into our lives. Their playful antics and soothing purrs make them irresistible!

[@SonjaMorrison-i7j]

Adorable what happens when wildlife habitat shrinks.

[@jfbPhotos]

It's definitely a complex situation! Wildlife adapts in fascinating ways, but it's a reminder of how important it is to protect their habitats.

[@billlong8385]

We have several bobcats in our neighborhood. They are beautiful animals and fun to watch, especially when there are cubs. But, they ARE wild and should be respected.

[@jfbPhotos]

Absolutely! Bobcats are truly fascinating creatures, and it's amazing to observe them in their natural habitat. Respecting their wild nature is essential for both their safety and ours.

[@AnneHemmer]

People are wilder - and foer women way more atrocious then just wilder. Careful of them!!

[@drewmiller3462]

Good stuff. My cat roommate especially enjoyed it.

[@jfbPhotos]

I'm glad to hear that you and your cat enjoyed it! Pets deserve some entertainment too!

[@lucretius39]

Beautiful. Thank you

[@jfbPhotos]

I'm glad you found it beautiful! Your support means a lot to me.

[@RENSHAWD9]

Thank you!!

[@jfbPhotos]

You're welcome!

[@EcoEarthNut]

What a fun visit!

[@jfbPhotos]

Yes it really was. I hope they visit again this year.

[@Notfiveo0]

Just like domestic kittens they will bite and scratch up your hand if you could hold one. The difference is their weapons are a lot more formidable than house kittens. Mom could turn you to hamburger if you messed with her babies.

[@dragonflydreamingorganics]

fantastic!!! Well done!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@lindamaag3541]

Loved your videos. I worried for their safety when they crossed the road in front of your house. They are so precious, I hope they always have a place to live free

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate your concern for their safety. It's always nice to see them enjoying their freedom.

[@jeffj2495]

Great video. They are adorable. What a great experience.

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found it heartwarming. It really was a fantastic experience!

[@ELcinegatto87]

Wonderful photography. Thanks for sharing your story about them. I just can't wrap my head around how people trap and hunt these cats for "sport", only to probably come home to a housecat or a dog after doing so. Hunting of Bobcats, Lynx and Cougars should be illegal in all 50 states. They aren't trees and don't need to be "managed" by people, except in extreme circumstances like a rabid animal. It's the height of human hubris and saddens me that people take happiness in cruelly killing these creatures instead of appreciating them and leaving them be.

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! It’s disheartening to see how some people treat these magnificent creatures. We need to raise awareness and advocate for their protection.

[@suzanne529]

@@jfbPhotos I know this will be controversial, but I live in rural Western Oregon. There is an abundance of deer, yet cougars are killing livestock instead of the deer they are meant to eat. Cougar have no natural predators, so they are increasing in numbers rapidly. The cougars also "thrill kill", wipe out entire flocks of sheep and goats. Sometimes to teach their young how to do it. It is a real problem. Yes, Cougars are a beautiful animal, powerful and majestic. Yes, farmers are learning they must protect their livestock with dogs and stout shelters. But there must be some kind of control. There are bobcats here too that sometimes cause problems with livestock but not often. Your photos of these bobcats is wonderful. Beautiful creatures. At least the mom was teaching her kittens to fear humans (when the person walking her dog went by).

[@NinaP-c5e]

Wonderful video and photos.❤

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and photos. Your support means a lot!

Beautiful kitties. Momma did good.

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you! Momma really put in the effort to raise such beautiful kitties!

Aww, thanks! Just trying to sprinkle some cuteness into your day! 😜

[@tariqrahman6918]

She wants some food knows you got cat food ha

[@jfbPhotos]

It looks like she’s got her eye on the prize! Cats certainly know how to get what they want.

[@brianhammer5107]

great photos!

[@jfbPhotos]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked them!

[@MsStack42]

Where can I get some of these for MY garden ? ❤

[@jfbPhotos]

It's always possible, depending on where you live. Just keep an eye out for wildlife stops by then, you might think.

[@alessandrorossini8704]

Beautiful, thanx ♥️

Thank You !!!

[@JuneWood-qh5py]

Thank you the video I love all species of wildlife I’d love to have all of them in my backyard I hope you will provide some support for mom and babies not something you have to share a video of but it would be nice to know they have food and safe place not as pets but as support thank you very much

[@jfbPhotos]

I appreciate your passion for wildlife! Creating a safe and supportive environment for them is so important. Let's all do our part to protect and cherish these beautiful creatures!

[@sliderule1702]

BCs didn’t move into your yard, you invaded their home!

[@jfbPhotos]

You make a great point! It's important to remember that we share this planet with all kinds of creatures and respecting their homes is crucial.

[@Qrayon]

The bobcat triggered your watch? How do you trigger a watch? That's kind of weird.

[@jfbPhotos]

I have Wyze camera's setup to monitor the front door. The Wyze app with notifications turned on triggers your phone or watch (Apple watch in my case) if motion is detected. It even sends a thumbnail to the watch so you can ID what triggered the camera.

[@Qrayon]

@@jfbPhotos What'll they think of next?

[@jfbPhotos]

Right? Can't wait to see what they cook up next!

[@rumbleofdrums527]

❤

[@jfbPhotos]

Thanks

[@movingforward2570]

Adorable 'looking' is all I would say. Because it will change once they haul your pet cat away

[@jfbPhotos]

I totally get what you mean! Looks can be deceiving, especially with our furry friends. They might look cute, but they can definitely surprise us!

[@Prfdt3]

I would feed them.

[@jfbPhotos]

Well, I hope you have a big supply of snacks! We all know feeding them could turn into a food festival!

[@Ponyjon]

Where was this?

[@jfbPhotos]

San Diego, CA - Just west of Poway, CA

[@RiyazGuerra]

Please take care of your house cats, I would not want to risk any incidents with Mama Bobcat. Mind the windows.

[@jfbPhotos]

Absolutely! We have indoor-only cats. It's important to keep our furry friends safe and secure. Thanks for the reminder!

[@EH1745Cane]

Where are you? What city?

[@Desertusa]

We are in Poway CA, which is San Diego County CA.

[@EH1745Cane]

@Desertusa Excellent! San Diego is one of my favorite cities in the country. Beautiful area! I haven't been there in over 30 years though. I think it's about time I got back to California. I'm in Orlando Florida.

[@jfbPhotos]

I lived in Clearwater FL for 2 years. I liked it. However, San Diego is home.

[@EH1745Cane]

@jfbPhotos The west coast of Florida is my favorite and the most beautiful part of the state imo. Longboat Key and that area have an effect on me. A powerful allure that I can't quite put into words. Funny thing is that I'm originally from California. Los Angeles to be exact and SoCal has an effect on me as well. To me it's the unique dry weather you have there. The air is completely different and I'm not talking about smog or pollution. For example up in Santa Clarita the morning air is literally night and day from what it feels like in Florida. In Florida we have this really oppressive humidity that just weighs on you. In Cali it's so crisp and energizing in the morning. I love that feeling! Cheers!

[@keef78]

Why are you doing a running commentary? we can SEE! its a video ffs.

[@jfbPhotos]

I appreciate your feedback! The commentary helps to provide insights and context that enhance the viewing experience.
