First a bear crossed the road in front of my car, now this

I posted over the summer (or spring) about how a black bear walked across the road in front of my car (I'm in central Connecticut).

Well, just a little while ago, two BOBCATS walked across the road right in front of my car. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I'm a moron, I was in such shock (and confused Chat Icon ) that I forgot to take a pic with my camera phone. So you'll have to believe me. Chat Icon

It looked like a very tall cat with spots and a weird curled tail. I googled bobcat, lynx, mt. lion, etc but it was most definitely a bobcat. Two actually.

This was less than a mile from my house. Chat Icon I read that bobcat sightings are very rare and I saw two...maybe I should play lotto tonight. Chat Icon

Here is exactly what it looked like:

Wow. I had no idea bobcats were in the area. I see deer fairly often around here, but that's about it.

Me too. I would think that they would be afraid of people, but animals especially small dogs would probably be at risk.

Everytime I see this title I read " 1st a beer crossed...." and I'm Chat Icon for a second.Chat Icon

It's crazy what you see where you are.
I probably would have had an accident if I saw either of these animals cross in front of my car!
