Bobcats in My North Dallas Yard

Shot over a 2 year period, this video chronicles the 6 episodes of 2 different bobcats that visited our yard on a creek in far North Dallas; one probably raised in captivity and the other very wild indeed.

Who has a bobcat expert? Other than a zoo. We supposedly have bobcats here, and I think I may have seen one 1x, but a lady swears they come and breed under her porch each year. Where they go after, is anyone's guess. We are in SC, near Charlotte, NC.

People in north Texas will probably be seeing more bobcats and coyotes simply because of all the developers who keep building houses and as a result destroy their habitat. As a result, they have no place left to go but near houses especially when houses carpet the landscape.

We live in a different area of Dallas. A friend saw a bobcat today and we googled it, and up popped this wonderful little film. I love the narration as much as the footage. It enrages me that people sell bobcat kittens and then abandon the animals when they figure out they are wild. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

[@Crusader1815]

If you raise them from kittens, technically they are not wild anymore. No wilder than a domestic cat, at least. If you're going to keep a bobcat, you have to know what to expect and plan for it. Make sure you have a huge enclosure outside so he can't escape. Being tame, he'll walk right up to people, scare them, and maybe get himself shot.

We have the same Bob Cat come twice a year, sticks around sleeping on our back yard block fence .. Spring & Fall he knows the rabbits are plentiful in the spring with alot of easy prey being born.. He hangs around eats until hes gained alot of weight leaves looking beautiful.. Come fall he returns looking like he's starved, hangs around a month or two leaves out across the desert.. He's repeated this same cycle for past 10 year's.. His mother must've bought him this route as a kitten.. I always start looking for him thinking he's not coming this year because he looks half dead last few times but each time he arrives to see him leave looking so beautiful gives me some hope he's gonna return.. I know soon he's not gonna come and that's gonna be heartbreaking.. I know he watches us as well, making sure we see his coming's & going's I really believe he doesn't leave until he sees & hears Be safe I'll see you again my friend...

Beautiful video with wonderful narration. I wish more people could see the sacredness of experiences like these the way you clearly do - and the only way to help that along is to help folks truly see what's out there. Gratitude and Peace.

[@XprPrentice]

First, let me compliment you on a lovely video, one that is an exemplar of what YT was started to promote. Now, I have conflicting feelings. I partly grew up in DFW and went to college in Dallas. As a kid, I watched blue jays dive bomb our cat in the back yard. I love squirrels, have seen a few black ones, one even popped out of a trash can to take the last of my burger. In Arizona, we had one come by daily. It had a lovely coat (I named it Pinecone). But I also feel for the first bobcat, the apparently domesticated one (who, as you noted, didn't try to eat your house cat). A domesticated cat that is made to look out for itself probably won't last long. Even the actual "wild" one. It certainly was fascinating, but your shot of it walking away, the last time you saw it, was grim foreboding.

[@angelwings7930]

We used to live in the outskirts of a desert town. LOTS of interesting experiences with wildlife. Had a small hill behind us, our house was built sort of into the side of it, the highest point of the hill was just a bit higher than our 6 foot stucco backyard fence. And we had trees. One day my chihuahuas were going berserk, I’d stepped into the house for a moment but hauled right back to see what was going on. I looked up into a tree, it wasn’t very tall. I met the gaze of a gorgeous bobcat. We weren’t far from each other and it was like looking into eternity. The cat had a psychic gaze, it looked right through me. It had no fear whatsoever. We looked into each others eyes for a while and I was about to move back, I might have softly said something to it I don’t remember. But then it very casually, slowly walked back up the tree branch and up to the top of the stucco fence and onto the land above it. It moved as if there was nothing in the world it was worried about. Of course I never left my little dogs out there again. It’s not smart to leave pets even for a minute if you’re in a rural area. Hawks, bobcats , etc. I was embarrassed I’d been so stupid but looking into the bobcat’s eyes from so short a distance was an unforgettable cosmic experience.

Wild cats are no different than tame pet cats in that they both need regular deworming. I would venture to say that almost all Bobcats venturing into human habitat are in the desperate stage of Ascaris infestation. A few yrs ago I had a male cat that went off on his own and I didn't see him until about 3 yrs latter a few miles from home. I took him food but he still remained ravenous hungry. Then I realized he needed deworming. I emptied 1 cap Piperizine into food and after that he no longer came for feeding; he was good to go.

I think it may have been a mother and cub. They never let me come close, or even wanted me to spot them in the foliage, but I finally got them to come into my home when the weather was below 30 degrees, to stay warm. They would stay behind the partition behind my sofa and just watch me. Scary, but worth it....out there we were all in the wild and I was part of it.

I live just outside Dallas. One day I was in backyard by a small creek a Bobcat walks about 50 ft away. It was leery of me but not afraid. It wandered to neighbors. 8 days later on Sunday night about 10pm. I walked out to get our mail. I’m walking back toward front door. Only 2 minutes passed. I look up and there is a bobcat just off my porch looking at me. I stop and think what is best. This was not the same one. Bigger. One week later I’m leaving my neighborhood and one runs across road. These animals absolutely are majestic and you realize what they can be capable of face to face.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

The one that was underweight probably was already domesticated so feeding it would not likely have done it more damage. I would have given it food. In 1972 when I was 12 I made friends with a female bobcat. It was 15 degrees below zero f and had not been above zero for days. I let her into my basement man cave/bedroom and fed it and we became instant best friends. She spent the winter with me (voluntarily) and then finally wandered off when the weather got warm again. She came back several winters only she brought her babies with her most years. Then when she stopped coming her offspring and their off spring came. We became a sort of winter shelter for them for over 20 years but the area got too built up and by the late 1990's they stopped visiting altogether. The first one helped me get two boy scout badges which got me promoted from Tenderfoot to 2nd class.

When I lived in Arizona (I now live in the uk) there were coyotes-there were a few incident of outdoor cat deaths due to coyotes living so close to houses- and plenty and I mean plenty of javelinas. Those javelinas were damn loud sometimes. There were also many reptiles and bloody spiders around. I would rather watch a robin or two on my fence right now (besides foxes and badgers are just as interesting to watch sometimes)

[@MississippiKitten]

What a great video, thank you so much for sharing! Regarding the first bobcat who seemed rather tame... I noticed the cat had true rosettes on its coat which is not something that occurs on bobcats. As for it's body shape, like the rosettes I would attribute that to the same thing; I think this was a cross between a domestic Bengal cat and a bobcat. Bobcats always have a stocky build and the first cat in your video had a longer body and longer legs.

We walked outside and it screamed a gain.. A huge mountain Lion about 10 feet above our heads in the tree we had just walked under.

Arapaho?? So you from Dallas too??

[@chadmurrell3119]

Great video!

[@bklynboater]

You have a smart housecat with great presence of mind. My domesticated cat would probably not have moved either-but not out of smarts. Mr. Magoo is as blind as the cartoon caricature for which he was named.

[@CVedit]

Those bobcats aren't the only patient critters in that yard. Seems like you take your lessons where you find them. Thanks for giving us all something worth watching. You're awesome!

"Well, we talked about feeding him". Man...

[@EvgeniyaJZ]

Yeah I feel bad for that cat. We used to feed opossums and squirrels when they were skinny and hungry...and they aren't even rare or endangered. I would have definitely fed him and kept all of the chicken skins for him in the future

[@JinnOfTheWest]

Great video! Excellent commentary! You sound like a professional.

[@shanniworld8310]

Wowee, thank you so much for being present in so many ways when the cats came to visit. Wow. I just loved listening to your voice and watching your excellent footage.

[@TheLakewind]

Thanks for a glimpse of the wild.

Lucky the house cat wasn't eaten.

[@projectkj7643]

Alyssa , am I the only one shocked how little he seemed to care about his cat being in a dangerous situation?!! He probably would have filmed the kill, sadly.

[@gui4992]

@@projectkj7643 honestly there was nothing he could do, he knew what a bobcat was capable of, and knew that possibly if he stepped out, he would've been attacked. He was concerned, who would not have been? But he couldn't do anything, and the bobcat seemed tame. If it was going attack, the cat* would've been mangled before he could get that sliding door open.

[@celticwarrior777]

NO the bobcat would have ran if he came out. No way I'd have left my family out there to be KILLED FCK THAT

[@celticwarrior777]

TAME???it killed a four pound squirrel bobcats are NOT TAME

[@BruceD1776]

It's not likely to attack another cat near its size except to fight over territory, in which case one or the other would likely retreat still alive.

[@noconfusion25]

wow amazing footage sir. I love how you went to detail too.

[@mythoughts1................1]

This animal is majestic. And this video is amazing. Excellent videography and narration.

[@JacobDFerguson]

Super cool video! Thank you for sharing

[@dieselboy610]

Ive been seeing more and more bobcats out in Richardson,Texas every year.

[@longhaired93]

great video

[@channelswimmer]

Talk about a dedicated film crew! Great stuff, thanks. They are beautiful creatures and it was nice to see her get rewarded with a tasty meal.

[@theagbaman]

You have a phenomenal voice, Sir! Great job and thank you for sharing!

[@marshamcdonald179]

Phillip Thomas. For future reference, if you see more? Call Texas Parks and Wildlife and ask for a list of licensed wildlife rehabilitators. They will help you. Don't contact Craigs List!!!! People on there are usually just dealing in animals to make money! They could care less what happens to them. It is illegal to keep native Texas Wildlife for pets, for the very reason you mentioned on the first cat. If it had been a pet, and someone let it loose, it didn't know how to hunt so probably slowly starved to death.
