Allen Couple Says Bobcat Family Moved Into Backyard

Bobcats may be common in North Texas but seeing them like this is not. A couple in Allen says a bobcat family moved in their backyard.

[@Xcris_crosX]

The couple are getting 24/7 free home security protection

[@baritonewoman2540]

Yep, from the various vermin (rats, mice, etc.)

[@IamDoogy]

True! That bobcat will put the run on any intruders!

[@Xcris_crosX]

​@Tamika Moseley I seriously doubt it because they don't own wildlife. Plus they could state in Court that they asked every facility and organization they could think of for help

[@Xcris_crosX]

​@Tamika Moseley The couple aren't feeding them. The momma bobcat is probably a good hunter feeding on neighborhood squirrels, wild birds and an occasional chihuahua

[@melviasheppard8466]

Until Mama Cat decides it's time to start teaching hunting skills. Time to call Fish and Game before it's too late !!!!

[@user-dq5xx9hi4q]

I fed a feral cat and her kittens at work after she gave birth in a large storage room next to my machine shop. The little ones were fine but mama would never stop hissing and spitting at me even when eating the food I gave her. Totally wild animal. Zero chance of taming. But one of the kittens bonded to me and ended up coming home with me after the mother left with the kittens for good one morning and this one refused to go with them. She was still in the room by herself at the end of the workday, waiting for me. TOBI was with me for 17 years until she passed of old age. Best cat I ever had, faithful as a dog.

[@lashlarue7924]

Yeah... Even the most spicy feral cat can eventually be tamed though. I've seen it happen. Sometimes they live their entire kitty lives and then suddenly decide to become friendly when they're very old. I've had this happen.

[@HallsofAsgard96]

​@@lashlarue7924 it's like going into a retirement home lol

[@brookeb4563]

Bobcats are a bit different, lol. Any non domestic animal should be left to be wild in their own habitat, but my grandmother has taken care of stray cats and kittens for years. Just yesterday I helped her bring one to the vet and he was honestly the chillest cat I’ve ever seen. Didn’t meow or growl at the vet once and was completely quiet the ride over. She found him after he was attacked by a dog. He had almost no fur due to a severe skin allergy, but ever since she started taking care of him he’s been really healthy.

[@user-dq5xx9hi4q]

@@brookeb4563I have too. Even tamed a few ferals. But this one was so wild that it must have had a hard life. Never lived around humans as far as I could tell. No chance of taming her.

[@brookeb4563]

@@user-dq5xx9hi4q yeah, there's a certain point even a domestic animal like a house cat just can't be tamed. Especially if it had little to no exposure to people as a baby when it's most impressionable.

Stray cats come to my place always, it seems.They know a cat daddy when they smell him. I have a feral black cat I've been feeding for over two years now. He knows I'm his father, yet he still won't let me touch him. It's funny. He sniffs my toes and then runs. But comes right back. He's even taken a step or two over the threshold.

I've got a whole family of bobcats living on my land in South Carolina and it's common enough to be sitting in the front yard when they show theirselves. I'm not afraid to go outside and if they come close I just look at them and talk and let him know I see him and they watch me with all the curiosity that a cat of any kind possesses. Before the bobcats came I had a problem with venomous snakes rattlesnakes and copperheads in particular now there's not a single snake anywhere on my property so the bobcats are most welcome and very polite guests. I should say tenants since they earn their keep by destroying snakes and rodents especially squirrels which destroy house wiring in the attic.

Human interaction, red meat and safe shelter. She lived almost 15 more years. Funny side note: I ended up divorced 18 years later and was single for 10 years. I actually dated the Daughter of the Head Vetrenarian at the Zoo. She rememberd Vanessa and spoke of her fondly.

@Jim Eagle Well....a bobcat is a lot bigger than a domestic cat, so its claws are going to be proportionally bigger and longer. How's that?

[@kayedubb754]

my papa had foxes under his deck for three years straight. they would come in the late winter, then leave mid summer. such playful little creatures. they love apples, too

[@StephanieSoressi]

It IS a great honor! Get them on film as much as possible before they grow up & move out!

[@bobmarley2140]

They are respectful to nature because I would 100% have gone outside and fed them and tried to make friends with a whole group of bobcat kitties, I could not resist the urge

[@denisebethany5691]

Mamma trusts her babies with these ppl.

[@money0808]

i read that title wrong at first. i was like, "what is an alien couple doing talking to the news about bobcats?"

[@kp4949]

Hahaha

[@twistertheplayer5361]

Wonderful people you are. ❤ Thank You!

[@octagonseventynine1253]

What a nice couple. “I don’t wanna look like I been through a paper shredder” lol

[@carolan9740]

This couple is so sweet and compassionate- Momma bobcat knew her and her babies would be safe, I bet they'll be free from raccoons, rodents and moles- hope more people see this story and learn from their goodness.

[@wintersun398]

good point! Ricky Rat and his family have been removed from under the deck.

[@abrarmullan1]

Actually humans moved into Bobcat's backyard. Now humans need to behave.

[@ChewyChicken589]

Actually, under Darwinism we're just doing what comes naturally to us.

[@Mckinley-mick]

Actually I’m really f’n high 😎

[@Gizziiusa]

i'd like to see the bobcat title of ownership. yeah, i didnt think so. try harder.

[@ChewyChicken589]

@rico yungboy 401 you first

[@ChewyChicken589]

@rico yungboy 401 If you really believe humans are bad for the Earth, you have a moral obligation to "go first"

[@rockhead69]

Beautiful animals...God 🙏 bless this couple !

[@angelinaakicita24-7]

A cat will never lay her babies where she knows they will not be safe 🙏 thank you wonderful beautiful kind soul for allowing them to roam freely as they should❤

[@anitapownall9556]

I know they are wild animals, but they are so cute! I would probably be sitting at that window watching all day.

[@angelbelieves7496]

Right! I’d probably try to run out and grab one to play with when momma is not there

[@toocutepuppies6535]

It's a cute problem, at least.😍

[@boyasia5874]

How cute! Adorable and huggable!

[@shirleyandrews1152]

Thank you for giving the bobcats a safe place. You are good people❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nicolas8344]

You are good people! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@karenhill3970]

Thank you Allen couple for being so kind to animals......

[@agnes709]

Adorable family😊

[@secretdaisy6484]

How incredibly lucky 🍀 they are to be able to watch them up close! 👍☮️🌞🐾❤️

[@candyh9876]

How wonderful to be able to see them play up close in safety !!!

[@WakkasLove]

I love this couple. They know they are blessed, and are respectful of wildlife.

[@lotushealingsanctuary]

How SWEET!❤❤❤ SOOOOO adorable! We humans need to share our spaces with animals ... it's their planet too!

[@ascent8487]

I understood there plight when he was talking about all the entities he’d hoped might provide a solution. I’ve been in similar circumstances. I think most assume someone somewhere is designated to help with all wildlife matters than you have a matter you need assistance with and find you’re alone. I’m glad they have a kind and compassionate attitude about the whole thing. Hope all worked out. Hope the kittens all grew up and are thriving. Hope no one ended up going through any paper shredders. Blessings to all involved.

[@NyanyiC]

Exactly I can't imagine being given the run around by government agencies. Stupid bureaucracy. I like how Americans turn to the News to name and shame bad actors and it usually gets the problem solved afterwards. 😁 They raised valid points about neighbors' pers. I also worry about neighbors' kids, their grandchildren and the couple's safety and comfort they are not exactly young and agile

[@estellepatella2520]

The housing market is really tight, both rental and ownership. Bobcats have to have homes, too.

[@melviasheppard8466]

And my daughter is complaining about the domestic cats that moved into her yard. It's the neighborhood birthing center 😆😆😆🙃🙃🤨😜😆😆😆

[@dieseldabz7104]

Thought that was the foodstamp office?

[@annefrazer815]

They really have a great attitude about it. God bless them.

[@LindaDDWilson2004]

Enjoy the uniquite life event. I am actually envious:) Good luck and many prayers!! Thank you for being kind to them

[@donn372]

The kittens play fighting adorable

[@sarahs5340]

What’s precious is this couple! What decent people! Thank you for being kind to the wildlife and keeping a respectful distance. I hope a humane resolution is found.

[@shutterchick79]

Upstate New Yorker here - when I was a kid, a bobcat decided the little loft in our garage was a perfect maternity ward and nursery. We were surprised that there didn't leave - we didn't stop using the space. While Mom would go nowhere near and I was told to stay away, Dad just made sure to make enough noise that the mama wasn't startled when he needed something. They eventually left when the kits were old enough. No harm done...

[@tanisgeorgetti1439]

They are absolutely adorable I can’t say I wouldn’t want to keep one!!!!😂❤

[@robertthorn8233]

So cute,..we did invade their territory. Kool the couple are hip about it and trying to help the critters.X

[@daisykid3]

Awww this couple has a great attitude toward the situation. I appreciate that they're respecting the bobcats.

[@kawythowy867]

This is beautiful….😊and the family is so kind to the family. Much respect folks.

[@cindyrissal3628]
